The shipping cost quoted on this listing is an ESTIMATE ONLY!  DON'T PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE MY EBAY INVOICE! The reason for this is because I don't pack my items/sets until they are sold.  The cost can vary widely based on the following criteria:  1.) How many boxes it takes to ship the set safely, 2.) The weight of each shipment/box 3.) The zip code in which you live.  Ebay now forces us to enter a shipping cost (which is impossible to calculate with multiple box shipments). If you pay before receiving my invoice and the cost of postage is less (you won't receive a refund check).  If the postage cost is more, you won't be able to make the additional payment via PayPal so you will have to send a money order for the additional amount (this means that I won't be able to ship your item until I receive the additional payment - which can create a delay of five days or longer (you won't receive your item/set within the normal 2-3 days)!  If you wait for my invoice, you will pay EXACTLY what the Post Office charges me. I don't charge anything for packing, handling or materials!ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE, I offer a 7-day money back guarantee (I don't refund postage & insurance on returns).  For a complete list of my selling & return policies please click on the blue and red "ME" symbol which is located on the right side of each listing under "Meet The Seller" (just behind my user I.D. and feedback number).  If you have any questions, please contact me under "ask Seller a question" which is in that same area.  I pack to BETTER than Postal Standards and I've never had an item damaged or returned - Please see some of my feedback!
