Attention US Buyers: I will ship by USPS Media Mail or USPS Priority Mail, your choice. Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you choose USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses
.
Attention International Buyers: Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic. Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option. You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
