SHIPPING: Beginning April 2011, we are attempting to offer USPS as an option for shipment. Some items CANNOT be shipped USPS due to size and weight, again check listing shipping options before you bid. However most items including knives, hand tools, cameras & generally items weighing less than 7.5 pounds can ship USPS. Combined shipping “total weight” must fall within this limit. Be sure to check the listing to assure your shipping options. We DO ship to P.O. Boxes on items that qualify, however we reserve the right to demand a street address for shipment. We also reserve the right to switch to UPS from USPS on “combined shipping,” if the accumulated items, by our exclusive determination, preclude USPS “flat rate shipping.” Items that offer shipping options of USPS & UPS, may not necessarily qualify for USPS. We will always attempt to provide the most economical and expedient shipping possible. Be sure to check listing for shipping options before you bid. We do not ship outside the USA. We will ship to our service men/women APO & similar addresses due to the Commonwealth’s strong support for our dedicated military personnel. Most often the listings will allow a choice of shippers between US Postal Service & UPS. Those who wish to maintain UPS for the “Guaranteed Shipping” that comes with UPS verses “insurance” available with USPS, has the option within the listing to choose. We can now ship to AK, HI & VI without a surcharge if you choose USPS. If you choose UPS there is $30 surcharge added for these locations. We do offer “combined shipping,” over 5 day shopping period or up to 10 items, whichever occurs first to ease the cost of shipping for prompt payers. We reserve the right to use UPS shipping for these dedicated purchasers. Failure to pay an invoice at the end of the 5 day shopping period constitutes “Auction Default,” (see Section 5 below) with all the penalties and consequences thereof, including blocking bidder.
