Purchasing multiple items will result in shipping being combined (unless, of course, that would be more expensive than individual shipments) to save you money and the discounts apply across all varieties here. I will either invoice you prior to payment or refund you if does not apply the proper discount.All catalogs will ship inside of a sealed (\"zipper\") plastic bag. Catalogs in envelopes will be shipped with corrugated cardboard on either side to protect from damage. I can only select 1 shipping option for this lot, despite the catalogs being very different. So while Priority Mail Flat Rate is the default setting, I will not damage a catalog by jamming it into a too-small envelope, so it I can not fit it in a Flat Rate envelope I will ship using a different form of Priority Mail. You will not be responsible for the extra cost. calculates the charges and I go with that,Shipping is through the United States Postal Service. If you require a different shipping company (UPS or FedEx) you will be charged the actual rate plus $10. (I work for USPS so shipping with them is beyond convenient and using other carriers is inconvenient.) If a buyer wins more than one item, shipping will be combined when it is less expensive.
