Shipping: If "Free Shipping" is an option, this covers shipping to the continental US using the least expensive service (USPS, FedEx, or UPS). Contact me for an expedited service quote or if you'd like to use another option. I will ship international as well using 's International Shipping program.I re-use packaging materials when shipping, but make sure all items are packaged safe and protected. Since I'm not a business and have a day job and other responsibilities, I set a 'Handling Time' of two business days. However I normally ship same day (I have a scale and label printer at home) and depending on timing USPS packages will go out with the daily mail if paid and packaged before it picks up. I will also 'ship' on the weekend, but depending on the courier, it may not actually 'go out' until Monday. (aka I ship as fast as possible, outside of extreme circumstances.)
Please contact me with any questions, I'll respond as soon as possible.
Thanks!
