About combined shipping discounts:

Since our products are prepackaged prior to shipping and are in most cases limited to the UPS & USPS First Class Mail weight and size limits, we CANNOT offer a combined shipping discount for multiple different auctions. We primarily use USPS First Class Mail and UPS or FEDEX for larger or heavier items to save the customer shipping fees and to decrease delivery times.  Some of our auctions that allow for more than one quantity of a particular product, selectable within its auction page, will have a combined shipping discount automatically applied to the invoice at the point at which you pay via PayPal. These particular circumstances sometimes do require that the product(s) be shipped by USPS Parcel Post or USPS Priority mail at our discretion. Thanks for your understanding of these packaging and shipping limitations.  There is an extra charge for APO, FPO, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico addresses. Please contact us for shipping cost before purchase. Please note: We only ship to the specified countries checked on our listing or on the list.
