If you are interested in placing an order, please email me a brief description of the item(s) you are interested in, the appropriate code number(s), and what method of payment you prefer to use.   First I will check the availability of what you are interested in.  Please also include your name and mailing address as well so that I can calculate the postage.  I am happy to send packages to all parts of the world.

Please do not put the information on attachments, but include it in the email itself.

I can process:    - USdollar checks or international money orders
                          - VISA  (I'm sorry, I can't take Mastercard or Amex unless through Paypal).   I need your full name, VISA number and expiration date - Some people prefer to send their info divided between 2 or 3 separate emails for security.  (VISA will be debited in US dollars)
                          - I am happy using PAYPAL for secure payments (they have had absolutely no security problems and are very reliable as long as you access your account through their web page) with a variety of credit cards.  You can sign up to use their services (no charge to buyers) at:  www.paypal.com
                          - Western Union is another option.

When you send me your request, I will let you know what the shipping cost will be.  I try to keep it as low as possible, and stick to the Post Office charges.  For a small package to the USofA  the rates begin at $10.00 for regular air mail (insured up to $100.US),  and $20.00 and up for Xpresspost (depending on how much insurance is needed and what the mailing address is)
I can send air mail packages to most countries so please inquire for the price.  It is of course, dependant on the weight of the parcel, but they generally cost $12.00 and up.
Xpresspost (with tracking number and full insurance) to Europe averages about $50 and up.

If you have questions about items, I am always happy to chat.

If you would like to place an item on hold, we can see if we can set up a payment system which fits both of us.  I do ask for a deposit and a commitment from customers to try to keep the payments up to date.  I send out monthly reminders of amounts due - to help to stay in touch.

If I don't hear from a customer for 6 months, then the account is closed and items go back out for sale to others.
Please do email me if you have any questions.
