Shipping

ALL BUYERS - DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVOICE


US buyers:
For 1-3 78s, price is $4.

International buyers:
Please wait for my invoice, as shipping must be calculated by distance and weight. I will not use the eBay Global Shipping Center for international shipping. Feel free to bid if you are an international buyer and standard shipping costs will apply.

I usually ship on Fridays or Saturdays.

NOTE: Because of the cost of good, new packing supplies, I must add a handling cost of $3.50 to each box.
