Items will be combined on request to save on postage costs. Please email me if you anticipate the need to combine postage. Postage costs are kept as low as possible by sending items as letters wherever this is feasible. I use clean recycled packaging, which further keeps charges down. I do not charge for handling. International Shipping: International customers must use Paypal when paying for a transaction. I do not ship to any country in Asia or to Italy. This is because too many packages end up "lost" once they reach customs. Also, please do not ask us to make false claims on customs forms on any packages. We will not "gift" your package or change the amount on the customs form. Postage from Australia for overseas delivery can be EXPENSIVE! Please check before bidding to avoid unexpected expense.

If you are unhappy with any item for any reason, I would appreciate being given the opportunity to remedy the problem before any neutral or negative feedback is left. Feedback is very important to me and also lets me know you have received the item safely, I would appreciate your taking the time to give feedback on receipt of your purchase. As I live in a very remote location, please remember that it takes longer to get to your destination from Tasmania! I always notify you when I have shipped.
