A Word on Shipping

Shipping...the bane of someone in business like me. I could not be profitable in a B&M location, so I rely on internet sales.  That means shipping...and these days, its not cheap.

The most affordable option is the USPS.

As a result of Covid-19 overseas shipping has become cost prohibitive for many customers.  Not only has the USPS greatly increased their rates, they have tightened rules and regulations. Now, even small parts that fit in an envelope have to have customs forms. Also, rates are changing almost weekly.  I can provide an estimate but that is subject to change.  Shipping for international orders will be billed separately once the order is ready to ship. As of February 2022 First Class International is only slightly less expensive than Priority International.  Priority International is also the only option that allows for insurance. 

Policy 1:  I will no longer pay to insure kits.  USPS Priority Mail includes $50 insurance.  If you want the purchase fully insured you must request it and are responsible for the cost difference.

Policy 2:  All international orders ship at the buyer's risk. There will be a tracking number as proof I shipped it, but there is always a chance it may end up in postal limbo.  You can opt for Priority International and insurance.

Policy 3: If you kit is damaged (and insured) you have two choices.  Either fix it or file an insurance claim. All kits are inspected prior to packing to verify condition. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
