DETAILED DESCRIPTION: USPS PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE SMALL BOX IS USED, HOWEVER THE US POST OFFICE ACTUALLY TREATS THESE BOXES LIKE GROUND/INTL LETTERS. DO NOT EXPECT QUICK PRIORITY DELIVERY ON THESE LITTLE BOXES AS THEY ARE OFTEN SORTED ALONG WITH INTERNATIONAL LETTERS AND GROUND PARCELS. IN MANY COUNTRIES, ALL MAIL IS NOW AIR FREIGHT. BOAT SHIPMENT S HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED, CAUSING DELAYS IN A ONCE AFFORDABLE & FAST SERVICE. IN ADDITION, BE ADVISED THAT THE US POSTAL SERVICE IS NOT REQUIRED TO SCAN THE CJ / LJ CUSTOMS NUMBER AGAINST SMALL FLAT RATE BOXES. WITH ALL THIS SAID, I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A DAMAGE OR LOSS USING THIS METHOD DESPITE THE INCREASED RISK.

INTERNATIONAL COMBINED SHIPPING & HOLD ORDER OPTION:
We realize that as weekly product updates are made, one might desire to select products against each week's release.
As a service to only our international clients, order holds and combined shipping is gladly offered. Orders may be held for up to 60 days maximum for combine shipping.
WE DO NOT OFFER PERSONAL SHIPPER PICKUPS BY YOUR FREIGHT COMPANY AS THIS IS OFTEN LINKED TO SCAMS. BE AWARE THAT ALL INTERNATIONAL CREDIT CARD USE IS FULLY VERIFIED BY THE ISSUING BANK AS WE PROCESS ORDERS SUBMITTED AS AN ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURE. THESE MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO PREVENT CARD HOLDER IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD. THIS TAKES AN EXTRA DAY TO PROCESS, AS INTERNATIONAL CALL TIMES WILL VARY ACCORDING TO TIME ZONES.
