Shipping
How do you ship?
Within the United States, we ship via USPS First Class Mail for the first 13 oz and Priority Mail for packages over 13 oz. For Priority Mail prices, I ship the two pounds (32 oz) by weight and anything heavier is shipped in a Flat Rate Medium Box. Shipping is done via Ebay and PayPal and the label is printed directly from this system, ensuring that your address is correct. This service also gives you tracking information. I charge no “handling”, “processing”, or other “gotcha” fees. You pay what the USPS charges me.

How do I pay for shipping?
After selecting the amount of flags you wish to purchase, Ebay will add the shipping charge automatically. Please note that some of my flags are offered with "Free Shipping". In that case, no extra shipping fees will be added!
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! For international orders I ship First Class. Priority Mail is quite expensive but if you wish to ship this way, let me know and I can calculate your shipping fees. As in US orders, you pay what I pay so to get an estimate on shipping see the USPS website. For eBay orders, I will ship using eBay's international shipping which will first send your package to a US city and then it goes International. The cost for this is cheaper than using USPS direct. Cost is about $13.
Please Note: I only ship outside the United States if you agree to our international policies:
1) As First Class Mail does not allow delivery confirmation/tracking, I am NOT responsible if the package is lost or held up by Customs. If you report a lost package, the USPS will wait 41 days from our shipping date before they open an investigation. The investigation could then take up to 3 months. While this is very rare and has not happened to any of our packages sent to several countries, you should be aware of the risks in shipping overseas.
2) I am not responsible for customs taxes, VAT, or other fees your country may levy on our packages. Your costs for shipping does NOT cover those extra fees. I can not be responsible if your post office won't deliver your flag without you paying an extra tax or tariff and I will not help you cover that fee. That is an issue between you and your country as I can't begin to understand multiple nation's customs laws. Sometimes there is a fee and other times there is not. Please purchase a flag with the understanding that there may be other costs involved. I will ship to a friend's address in the US if you wish.
I have shipped many times to numerous countries and have NEVER had any issues so you can feel confident in buying from us but please be aware that there always exists a risk when shipping long distances.
