![]() ![]() ![]() Media mail, which was never designed to ship fast, has gone from taking like 4 days to 2 weeks, to easily taking a week to 3-4 weeks. Priorities are sometimes taking 4 days to a week or more now. if it's a birthday gift), do NOT expect Priority Mail will get it there in 2 days as it has in the past. If you are on a deadline for getting an item (e.g. Contact me about a broken issue, send me photos and we can proceed from there. Ditto if an item that I have carefully wrapped gets broken in shipment. Please do NOT leave negative feedback based on how long it took the item to arrive as I have absolutely ZERO control over that. This is what happens when politicians tamper with the way the post office is run. That almost always means it will need to go by Priority Mail then, unless it's books which ship via the cheaper media mail rate.2021: Additional note on shipping times- shipping length has increased significantly for ALL classes of mail. FYI, anything 1 pound or heavier cannot go by first class, which has a 16 oz limit.

I had to start setting up calculated shipping because the same package traveling 300 miles away costs far less than if it goes 1,200 miles away. I try to be extremely fair on shipping, unlike some eBay sellers who charge outrageous fees and pocket the difference. This means you will pay a lot more for a package of the same weight if it is 21" long vs 14" long. Be aware that anything over 12 inches gets dinged a bit on price (goes up a good bit) and every few inches, the tier increases significantly. This means, based on the weight AND size of the item, plus your unique zip code, eBay will come up with and show your shipping fee. Please let me know BEFORE checking out so I can apply shipping discount to the invoice.SHIPPING NOTE : most of my items (unless books or weighing less than 6 ounces) are set up to do calculated shipping. listed and to list -so please check back or favorite me as a seller to easily locate in the future.Because of the volume of items I'm listing (most from trying to downsize), returns are not accepted.Happy to combine shipping (except books, which go by media mail-books can be combined together OR all other items can be combined together via first class or priority mail, depending on total weight).
