A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING TIME: I list all of my auctions with a 5 business-day handling time as I work full-time Monday through Friday. Unfortunately I am not one of those sellers who is able to offer shipping within 24-48 hours of payment. Saturday is often my best day to ship, though I try to ship as soon as I am able. If you make a purchase on Saturday evening or Sunday, please be advised that it may not ship until the following Saturday. I pack very thoroughly and thoughtfully, as reflected in my feedback, which also takes time.
