-------------------------------------------------------------- International Shipments
--------------------------------------------------------------
International shipments are actual cost only, no markup, no handling charges!...Unfortunately, with the May07 USA Postal
service rate changes, they eliminated the smaller $5 fixed rate pack....sorry!...so, now the least expensive way is the larger $12
fixed rate pack ($10 to Canada)....the good news is that we can fit more in it...a bra and some coins or other small pendants, or up to 300 coins, or
some coins and some other things....we will always try to combine items to get the best rate on shipping for you. ::smile::
Some countries are quite fast in processing incoming packages from the USA....for example, the UK, Australia, and Germany are very quick through customsSome countries are much slower...Canada, for example....My experience is that even though we are only a couple of hours drive from the border , it may take several days longer to get even to downtown Montreal than it would be for a package to be delivered to a small hamlet somewhere in the highlands of Scotland....
And then there is Italy.....ahhhhh....I love Italy....the people, the food, the wine...what a wonderful place Italy is....please expect that shipments to Italy will be delayed by slow customs processing, slow mail delivery, train service delays due to daily labor strikes, etc., etc., etc,....
I am terribly sorry, but due to the delays, incompetence, and lack of urgency of the Customs and Postal systems I must now require that all shipments to ITALY, RUSSIA, GREECE, and ARGENTINA be through the more expensive Express Mail with Tracking. The Flat Rate Express Mail envelope is $29, and will provide us with a detailed tracking showing exactly where your package is delayed.
