*We often use private postal insurance or self-insure. The
advantage of this is that it costs less and claims are paid MUCH
quicker. I sometimes charge LESS than these rates, depending
on
the size and weight of the order.
Express mail, UPS Air, FedEx service may be
available for at a substantial extra cost and is done at your risk.
"Overnight" Express
Mail takes at least two days to most locations (even within
California). Grover Beach is in the boondocks so there are early
cutoffs for FedEx and UPS Air, so plan accordingly. We charge
an
extra $3 per order for UPS Air and FedEx due to the extra work
involved. Because UPS and FedEx do not honor their guaranteed
delivery, we cannot promise it either.
POSTAGE TO OTHER COUNTRIES:
Rates
are based on the weight, size and shape of the package.
Airmail
usually
costs from $7 to
$35,
with a maximum weight of about 1700 grams. I can ship 3 or 4
medium
sized coins in an envelope for about $8. Minimum
postage fee
for packages (anything thick or stiff) is about $13, depending on where
it is going. I self-insure small packages
to many nations. For heavier packages, up to about 9kg, the
cost
about $60 to $80, depending on the size of the package. I self-insure
to countries with reliable postal systems. Please write for
rates based on your particular order.
Registered Airmail is recommended to nations without secure mail
delivery or on high value orders. Cost usually is between
about
$40 and $60, depending the weight of the package.
Registered Mail is available only for packages that weigh less than
about 1800 grams. Priority
Mail includes tracking and $200 insurance (cost is about $25
for
Canada, $35 for other nations, for up to 1800 grams) Express Mail (EMS) usually
costs $60 for up to
about 1800 grams. It includes tracking and $200 of insurance.
Customs
fees, duties or charges may be assessed by your country. I
cannot
responsible for these. Please let me know if you have any
specific instructions for customs.
