I WILL BE HAPPY TO COMBINE ITEMS TO REDUCE SHIPPING COSTS .
I ONLY LOSE $ ON SHIPPING BECAUSE OF MANY COMPLEX FACTORS, I TRY TO SHIP PRIORITY DOMESTIC AND FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONALLY. SUPPLIES ARE NEVER COVERED IN SHIPPING COSTS AND ARE OUT OF POCKET.
MY TREASURED INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS - PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO LOWER THE COST OF THE ITEM ON THE CUSTOMS FORM OR SEND IT AS A GIFT, IT IS ILLEGAL AND I FEEL BAD HAVING TO REPLY - NO I CANNOT CHANGE ACCURATE FIGURES OR ALTER THE TRUTH. FACTOR IT IN PLEASE.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION-SOME INTERESTING NOTES ABOUT EBAY SELLING
NOT TOO LONG AGO, I WAS AN EBAY BUYER ONLY. I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT IT TOOK TO PREPARE AND PRESENT TO SELL ON EBAY. SOME OF MY ACCUMULATED OBSERVATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS. FOR THE RECORD, I AM NOT COMPLAINING JUST EXPLAINING THE FACTS.
1) TRULY MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING ACGARTIFACTS A SUCCESS. BECAUSE OF THIS SITE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED WONDERFUL EBAYERS/COLLECTORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
2) EQUALLY IMPORTANT I MUST THANK MY PARTNERS IN THIS VERY DEMANDING BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT ALL POSSIBLE. EBAY,  PAYPAL AND THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE OUTSTANDING SERVICES AND SUPPORT ON A VERY HIGH PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. I COULD NOT SELL WITHOUT THEM.
3) I AM PRIMARILY A COLLECTOR NOT  A SUPPLIER.
4) I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE LACK OF HUMANITY IN COMMUNICATING WITH A COMPUTER. IT IS VERY IMPERSONAL AND COLD. MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND A LANGUAGE BARRIER CAN BECOME A REAL PROBLEM. ALL MY LIFE IN BUSINESS I HAD MEETING, PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND FAXES. I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO IMPROVE THIS DIFFICULT ASPECT OF AN ON-LINE BUSINESS.
5) I PAID DEARLY FOR ITEMS THAT I OFFER ON EBAY AS A COLLECTOR. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THE SEARCH, FINDING, BUYING, STORING AND PROTECTING TOOK A LOT OF TIME MONEY AND EFFORT. EBAY AND PAYPAL OFFER THEIR GREAT SERVICES FOR AN APPROXIMATE FEE OF 14% PER ITEM. I PROVIDE ALL THE WRAPPING AND PACKING MATERIAL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I LOSE MONEY ON 9 OUT OF 10 ITEMS THAT I SHIP.
6) IN CONCLUSION, I AM VERY PLEASED TO RECYCLE MY HARD EARNED TREASURES TO ADD TO OTHER COLLECTORS PASSIONS AND SHARE MY ENDLESS FASCINATION, APPRECIATION OF MILITARY HISTORY AND OTHER COLLECTABLES WITH YOU.
