Conditions of Sale

SHIPPING:
We do our own in-house shipping and only charge for the actual cost, which includes shipping, insurance, registered & confirmation services will be charged to the bidder. Shipping will be thru the US postal service unless otherwise instructed. Shipping outside the US is more expensive - often requiring registry or express mail. Insurance coverage to some foreign countries may be limited or unavailable. Any shipment to a foreign country may require a customs form which will show the value of the item[s] being shipped. All international buyers are responsible for customs, duties and additional taxes, if any.

There is NO pickup or delivery service.
