Unless other arrangements are made and agreed upon by seller and buyer, here is my shipping policy:
  
Depending on the size and weight, I will usually send your purchase in a silver foil gift box by priority USPS mail.  I will insure it for the proper amount.  This would come to $4.05 for the shipping and $1.30 for the insurance for an item worth $50.
  
I charge you a flat $4.95.  Each subsequent item is an additional $1.00.
  
This is for shipping within the United States.  If you are outside the states, contact me and I will figure your shipping and insurance and still carry a bit of it myself.
  
I will respond to all orders within 48 hours.  If I am out of town and cannot mail it within 48 hours, I will respond by email and let you know when it will go out.  If I am gone for more than a few days, arrangements will be made to have someone here send it out to you, probably within the 48 hours.
   
Thanks again for your interest in my work.
