  • SHIPPING:  Our shipping is handled in house.  Items being shipped are not released for shipping until payment has been processed.  We utilize a product called Shipping Saint to manage our shipping process.

Please take care of your shipping payment within 48 hours after you receive your shipping invoice.  Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges.
