The fine print & please read If you’re the winning bidder pay with pay pal within 3 days please. Shipping is $5.50 for domestic and $6.50 international ( international shipping increased with USPS ) for shipping, handling, package, package material, ink, ID cards, plastic cases, tracking in the USA and proof of delivery for international and if you like to have insurance, please contact me about that. I do combined shipping with items; I’ll be adding $.50 for each additional item. Example, you won two items and the initial cost for S&H is $5.50. The final cost will be $6.00, which beats paying $11 if not combined. If you’re in the US you have a 7 money back guaranty minus shipping both ways as long as everything shipped out comes back. Lastly by bidding, you agree by the terms and conditions set forth and agree on payment, shipping, handling charges and shipping times. Please note once an item has been shipped it can take an average of 2 to 5 business days in the US market and in the international market, can take on average 7 to 15 business days or longer to be delivered once I have shipped the item. Please note that these are times set forth by USPS and are not guaranteed by them nor do they guaranty every package to be sent in those timely manners. Take note of this when you’re STAR RATING me for shipping and handling charges and the third parties that are involved with your package. eBay uses the STAR RATINGS to rate performance and puts limitations on accounts if you have a couple low star ratings. If you think $5.50 is too much for covering costs for shipping, tracking, handling, packaging, tape, ID cards, plastic case for meteorites, and ink. Lastly, I do not have to combine shipping at all. This is a service to be nice to my eBay bidders :) but I do add .50 cents to each item added to an order to cover costs on ID cards, plastic case for the meteorites, and ink. If you do not agree on those discounts, PLEASE THINK BEFORE BIDDING Thank you and .
