=PAYMENT=

IF YOU ARE IN THE USA AND DESIRE MEDIA MAIL, YOU MAY PAY IMMEDIATELY,

ALL OTHERS, PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE.

ALL ITEMS MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS.

Once paid for, I am happy to hold international shipments for up to 30 days, so as to combine shipping and save you money. 

Due to eBay regulations, I cannot hold shipments to the US, once they are paid for.

I believe that this is a very reasonable policy, and appreciate your understanding. If you need to make other arrangements, please contact me before bidding. I will work with you to make a successful transaction.

Thank you for your cooperation.

============================================

=SHIPPING INFORMATION=

The rates quoted are still below my actual shipping cost.

All shipping is by USPS. I use online shipping to give you the best possible price on shipping. It also enables me to supply you with a tracking number for all shipments.

Shipping for the first disc in the US by Media Mail $3.00. Additional discs are free of charge. Priority Mail is available.

International customers, please wait for my invoice before you pay. USPS First Class Mail rates are only for packages under 4 pounds (usually from 4 to 6 single discs).  Any package over 4 pounds must be sent by Priority Mail.

If you pay before receiving my invoice, you may lose any shipping discounts that you might be entitled to. The new USPS postal rates vary more from country to country, so it is not possible to estimate costs exactly. You will pay only the postage, no extra charge for materials or handling.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR US CUSTOMERS ONLY: ANY PURCHASE TOTALING $50 OR MORE WILL BE SHIPPED FREE BY MEDIA MAIL.

SHIPPING DISCOUNTS FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

Purchase $100 or more: 25% discount on shipping cost

Purchase $250 or more: 50% discount on shipping cost

Purchase $500 or more: Free worldwide shipping (up to $50)

==INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ==

Some very important items:

1. The sale price will be the declared value on your customs form. I will not classify your package as a gift or otherwise falsify customs documents on your shipments. This is a federal crime in the US and is illegal in every country. Any import fees, taxes or duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

2. Any purchase totaling $50 or more (not including shipping) must be insured. This cost will be included on your invoice. If you do not choose insurance on an order of less than $50, I take no responsibility if your shipment is lost or damaged.

3. Please understand that shipping times for international packages (especially First Class Mail packages) are unpredictable and can vary from a few days to weeks or more. I have no control over this. Priority Mail is much more dependable and is highly recommended for more valuable items.
