*Please note-the shipping price is a flat rate.  I mostly ship Fed Ex but sometimes I end up using UPS or USPS.  Depends on where you live and shipping cost (and the size of the box).
*I pack items very well and everything has a tracking number.  Once I mail an item I can't be held responsible for what happens to the package. If it gets lost, damaged or stolen then I will do all I can to get the claim filed, etc....however I can't control what happens after I mail it.  With this said I will work with the buyer to help in any way I can.
*I will only ship to the address you have on file with eBay so it's up to you to make sure the address is current and correct.
*Buyer to pay for return shipping if an item is returned.
