Displayed delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed. My handling time is 2 days. Despite that, most items are shipped same or next day after payment. Sellers exert no control over the package once in the possession of the shipping provider, including, but not limited to, how long the package stays in any one place, how often the tracking is updated, or what route the package takes to its destination.Please only bid if you agree to the displayed shipping charges. If not, don't buy from me. The shipping providers charge based on the ENTIRE weight of the package, not just the purchased item nestled inside. Boxes add weight. Bubble wrap adds weight. Packing paper adds weight. Packing peanuts add weight. If you want to receive your item, hopefully, safely and undamaged, a box and some combination of those other 3 things are necessary for most items to avoid most, but not all, damage. (I can't control how the package is handled once out of my possession.) I use calculated shipping. Calculated shipping means that I enter the weight and dimensions of the package and eBay calculates the cost based on the selected provider and service. The displayed price is coming straight from eBay, not me, and is what the shipping provider will charge me to ship your item. I cannot control how much the shipping providers charge for their services. I combine shipping when possible. Some items are too large and/or heavy to ship together. A combined invoice will be provided the following morning after the auction ends barring any weather or other events that keep me out of work.As with all of my auctions, if there is not a buy-it-now price, there will not be.I ship to verified addresses only. I will cancel the order if asked to ship to a different address since it is a violation of eBay's rules.For international orders, I do not ship directly to international addresses. I ship to the eBay Global Shipping Hub. eBay does not allow combined invoices for items purchased through the Global Shipping Program. Some costs paid for purchases made through the Global Shipping Program are paid directly by the buyer to the third party who runs the Global Shipping Program and cannot be refunded by the seller.Refunds for returns or damages will be for the original purchase price less the shipping charges.Thanks for looking. ******A NOTE ON SHIPPING******It has been brought to my attention that there are times when the shipping cost eBay is calculating and displaying on some listings are lower than what the shipping cost ends up being at checkout. The price at checkout has been the correct price in my experience. I have brought this issue to eBay's attention but it is something I cannot control. I have no hard feelings if this happens and you prefer to cancel the transaction.From USPS:"Dimensional WeightThe dimensional weight price may be applied to Priority Mail® parcels, USPS Retail Ground parcels, Parcel Select parcels, and Global Express Guaranteed® parcels, but use and calculation of that price is different for those mail classes.The calculated dimensional weight may be applied if the package exceeds 1 cubic foot in volume. Postage price of the item is based on the actual weight OR the calculated dimensional weight, whichever is greater."Determining Dimensional Weight for Rectangular ParcelsFollow these steps to determine the dimensional weight for a rectangular parcel:Measure the length, width, and height in inches. Round off each measurement to the nearest whole inch.Multiply the length by the width by the height.If the result exceeds 1, 728 cubic inches, divide the result by 166 and round up to the next whole number to determine the dimensional weight in pounds.If the dimensional weight exceeds 70 pounds, the customer pays the 70-pound price." FedEx and UPS use dimensional weight on all packages when applicable.
Just because an item is light does not mean it will not cost much to ship. If that light item is large, the shipping providers use dimensional weight to determine cost, not the actual physical weight.
Furthermore, the number of people that act incredulous with regard to shipping charges is comical. You are not being forced to bid or buy against your will. The shipping you will be charged is displayed near the price, whether you are on eBay's website or the app. You've already seen what you will be charged for shipping when you placed your bid, just like I do when I buy things on eBay. There have been times when I've been verifiably overcharged for shipping by sellers on eBay but I saw the shipping cost in advance and still purchased. I can't complain about the shipping cost when I tacitly agreed to it when I bid or hit "Buy-It-Now". Also, I have the receipts to show eBay that I pay for shipping what I charge. I even send refunds for excess shipping paid when necessary as some of my received feedback testifies.
Despite the confusion that A**z*n has spread, shipping is NOT free. It never has been and it never will be. It's not even free for them. They are just able to subsidize the loss by doing BILLIONS in sales. And you don't even have to take my word for it. Shipping rates are very easy to look up on the shipping providers respective websites.
