A note regarding international shipping: We ship via first class and insure most shipments over when possible. First Class usually takes 8-10 business days, but it can be subject to unpredictable delays. If you can't wait a month for delivery -- it sometimes takes that long, though not often -- please don't order.
We will only ship via registered or Express Mail to the following countries: INDIA, MEXICO. Please contact us for estimated shipping costs, as these services carry extra charges.
Please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. UK customers are usually charged a 12 pound admin fee by the Royal Mail regardless of the value -- horrible, we know, and we think you should complain to your MP!
