Hi! Lots of new rules from Ebay - oy! Shipping to USA now does not include insurance and cannot even be offered?!? Shipment to USA is usually within 24 hours, but sometimes it's within 48 hours. There's also been some family issues recently that have me traveling to my parents down in Florida - I do my best to ship your items before I leave or even take them with me and ship from Florida - but if a payment is made after I leave, well then upon my return I will ship. My alerts are in my ABOUT ME page when I will be away, etc. Selling overseas has become very difficult. Members of the EU are now prevented from purchasing certain items but because it's impossible to differentiate between items what I do ask is if potential buyers contact me directly at OLIVESANGEL@AOL.COM in order to figure out what's okay, etc. Shipment overseas and that includes you Canada does not include insurance or tracking UNLESS express mail international is chosen as the preferred shipping method. 99% of the packages shipped internationally are shipped at a low cost which is 1st class mail international either in a bubble mailer envelope or a box, HOWEVER because of the low cost the shipment does NOT include insurance or tracking at all, so please, after your purchase do not ask me for this information as it is not a possibility. I thank you all for your purchase and payment - it's a rough time nowadays and I appreciate your business. My items are 100% authentic and any buyer who states differently, well, please don't. If you do not want to bid, please don't. If you are unsure about bidding, please ASK before bidding. It will save us both a lot of time - there's no need for a transaction on ebay to become uncomfortable. We all work very hard and I appreciate that very much! Again - if you have ANY question please contact me via the ebay system, or directly at olivesangel@aol.com. This can easily clear up any questions and/or concerns. Thank you!!
