If you are a privately owned store, your orders must be prepaid by either wire transfer, credit card or PayPal. We accept most credit cards.

About Authorization and Capture:

When you place an order using a credit card or PayPal, an authorization is created that holds the funds for the amount of your order until we are ready to ship and finalize your payment. At final capture, we add shipping costs to the original authorization and complete the payment, thus fulfilling and closing the authorization.

SHIPPING COSTS

We ship most domestic orders via UPS Ground shipping. We receive a commercial discount based on volume of boxes shipped that helps save you money. We also ship smaller orders via USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate.

We strive to keep shipping costs as low as possible for our customers while ensuring the safety of the merchandise during transit. With every order requesting a unique variety of products in all shapes, sizes, weights and levels of fragility, we unfortunately cannot make a general rule about what percentage of your order total shipping costs will comprise.

Here are a few guidelines for shipping costs:

• Large items, even if they are lightweight, incur higher shipping costs due to the volume of the shipping box.
• Heavy items, even if they are small, incur higher shipping costs due to the weight of the shipping box.
• Fragile items like ceramics often incur higher shipping costs, as additional packaging is required to ensure no damage to the item occurs.
• Orders comprised mainly of closeout merchandise are often subject to higher shipping-to-total percentages since the merchandise is being sold at a lower price.

We are happy to provide you with a shipping estimate before your order is finalized. Please contact Customer Service if you would like to be contacted with a shipping estimate.

International Shipments:  We require international businesses to utilize a freight forwarding service located in the United States. We will ship your order via UPS Ground to the forwarder, and they will consolidate your order with other shipments going to your country.
