PLEASE NOTE DO "NOT" BUY MY ITEMS IF YOU HAVE 10 OR LESS FEEDBACK UNLESS YOU CONTACT ME FIRST! Due to the size, shape and being slightly fragile, some pieces will have to be specially wrapped, boxed and insured for loss only which shows in the shipping cost, I do not intend to take any chances with these pieces, better safe than sorry, it would be heart breaking to think it arrived broken and deserves looking after. I LIST NEW ITEMS EVERY WEEK, CHECK OUT MY WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ITEMS UP FOR AUCTION. PAYPAL ONLY READ THIS BEFORE YOU BID Sadly the Thai postal service now charges $35.00 a kilo by air, their old service is no longer available but they say this service is faster, land sea is a lot cheaper but takes longer. I cannot be held responsible for your countries import taxes or any other duties that have to be paid or control what Thai post charges for shipping. All items shipped with a tracking number. Shipping from Thailand can take between 14 to 28 days depending on the postal service and area so please be patient. Thai post will not ship to Brazil, Spain or The Russian Federation and many other eastern block countries so I can only use EMS which is about double the shipping rate quoted but twice as quick taking between 7-10 days. So please contact me first for a quote before you buy. I do my best to bring you unique and sometimes very rare items. I can sell you an item, wrap it as carefully as I can and then ship it to you. I cannot control what Thai post charges for shipping or tell you the exact time it takes to arrive to you, and can only give you a rough idea from past dealings, I have no control what so ever over any postal service's or U.S. customs. I use bubble wrap and other packing to cushion each item from possible mishandling during shipping. If for any reason, the item is broken, please email within 24 hours along with pictures of the broken item, original box inside and outside. I try to take good photo's with different angles, I also put all the information I know about the piece on the page including Height and Width, I do not charge for the box and wrapping which is also expensive here as it has to be imported.
