Upon receipt of payment, the phone will be securely boxed andshipped via Fedex Ground to a street address of the buyer's choosing within the continental United States . Bidders with addresses outside the continental UnitedStates or with any other special shipping requests are invited to inquire for an accurate estimate of shipping charges.
