Some smaller margin items will carry a nominal shipping fee that covers actual postage, packaging, handling and all associated administrative costs in safely packaging your product for delivery. Although many of our listings are shipped for free, it is necessary to charge a minimum shipping & handling fee for others which are clearly posted in each listing. Please be aware of any such shipping & handling fees PRIOR to purchasing this item. Please ask if you are unclear. We do our very best to ship your order the same day, or within one business day.
