When you select a shipping method - we will apply actual shipping costs after your order has been weighed.

Because we sell so many small items we feel that a set rate charge for shipping is unfair to our customers.   

The United States Postal Service has made it extremely difficult to quote a price before packaging and weighing your order. 

Please read ALL the information and click the appropriate spaces.
