Most items will be shipped within a day or two of purchase. I am a one-person studio, however, and if I happen to be out of town, shipping may be delayed by approximately a week. I will email you if there will be a shipping delay of more than a couple of days. Shipping is via USPS or FedEx. Smaller items are usually shipped Priority Mail, while larger items ship FedEx Ground. Upon request, I will insure the item(s) being shipped at cost.
 

I double-box and bubble-wrap every piece(s) purchased, which will add to the weight and dimensions, and thus the cost, of the shipment.  However, this process provides the best possible protection of your purchase.
