I am required to collect sales tax on any order which is being shipped to an address
in New York state. The current sales tax rate is 7.75%.
Shipping
I ship via the US Postal Service because it has proven to be as
fast (or faster) and significantly cheaper than either UPS or FedEx.
If for some reason you need me to use a shipping method other
than USPS, please contact me prior to placing your order.
The prices shown on my web site do not include shipping. The
shipping cost is calculated automatically by the shopping cart, based
on your location and the service type you would like to use (i.e.
First Class, Priority, Express, etc.) You will be able to see your
complete order total (including shipping) in the shopping cart prior
to checking out.
I will ship worldwide - the shopping cart is configured to compute the
proper amount of postage based on your location and preferred service
type. Please be aware that for
international shipments, your country may charge import duties, taxes
or other fees which you will be responsible for paying. If in doubt,
check with your local post office or applicable authorities prior to
placing your order.
Although I dislike
government taxes and fees as much as anyone, I hope you will
understand that I cannot put my entire business at risk by
mis-labeling an international package containing commercial goods as a
gift.
Most of the shipping options in the shopping cart give an estimated
transit time. Please be aware that this not a guarantee, it is an estimate of the
transit time itself - the amount of time it should take for your order
to arrive once it has shipped.
Sometimes I am
able to ship out an item on the same day it is ordered, but it is more
usual for it to ship on the next business day.
This is especially important to
remember for custom ordered or "pre-order" products where it might be
some time before your order is actually ready to ship. If time is
critical, I recommend contacting me prior to ordering to see if a
particular item is in stock and can ship immediately.
