Shipping
Purchase $50.00 or more and fully insured shipping is free.
Purchase less than $50.00 and fully insured shipping is only $1.50.
All items are sent via first class mail or air mail and are fully covered by private insurance. They are sent at my risk. Should a lot fail to be delivered within 45 days, you will receive a full refund. I DO NOT offer registered shipping. The rate has now increased to well over $10.00 and there are new paperwork requirements. In addition, the service is very, very slow. My standard shipping is fully insured. If you would like to use an expedited service, I can offer FedEx or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail at the actual cost. Do please note that I can still only send the shipment on Friday morning.
Communication
Email communication has become increasingly difficult. Please be certain you will be able to receive email from me . Internet zeitgeist has determined it is better to not get an email you might want than to get an email you might not want. Spam filters have made the receipt any email as a much a matter of chance as design. Please adjust any filters on your local email program to allow email from [email protected]. Please also contact your ISP and demand that they allow email from [email protected].
Delivery
Shipments are made twice per week on a Wedensday and Friday afternoons. On most weeks, the cut off for this Friday morning shipment is at 7:00 PM Wednesday. Shipment times are now impossible to predict. While some shipments arrive sooner, domestic orders often take two weeks and sometimes take as long as one month. Orders sent outside the U.S. sometimes arrive in a week but can take as long as six weeks. We cannot control the shipping times. Please be patient. Insurance claims for domestic shipments will be made after four weeks. Insurance claims for international shipments will be made after eight weeks. .
