DOMESTIC SHIPPING

Domestic shipping is typically by USPS Priority Mail, insured and with signature.

Free domestic shipping is provided on all purchases.

High-value items may be shipped by Registered Mail, which may take longer but is very secure.

All packages are sent insured, unless the buyer waives responsibility for loss or damage in writing.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

International shipping is typically by USPS First Class International Mail for orders under $400 and by USPS International Priority Mail for orders over $400. For high value orders the shipping method will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

The cost of International shipping will be individually calculated in consultation with the purchaser since costs and reliability can vary country by country.

Please keep in mind that in certain parts of the world the ability to insure a package can change suddenly; if this happens I will try to work with you to find a reasonably-priced method of insurance and shipping.

Customs, duties, and/or import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. I will not falsify the purchase price of an item to lower the cost of duties and import taxes.

Due to international trade regulations some items, like coral, cannot be shipped internationally. I will not falsify the contents of the package to get around these regulations.
