About the shipping of these items
Note that we call the items we are auctioning "very oversized", but that refers to the size of package they need to be sent in! Some of the items ARE very large (French and Italian one- and two-panels), but most of the remaining items are 14" x 22" or smaller, but they need to ship in flat packages that are much larger than our regular flat packages.
Therefore, all of the items can't be sent in our regular standard-sized flat mailers (and NONE of them can be rolled in a tube). There are possibly a few exceptions, and if we can send your purchase(s) in a cheaper way without damaging it, we will. This means you mostly will have to pay greater than normal shipping, so bear this extra cost in mind before placing your bids.

About the condition
Note that we give a detailed overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", "good", and only a few less than "good") along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much a general description of the defects, and we only describe specific defects if they are the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized images, or if the item is especially valuable). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we still strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

U.S. buyers need to enclose $16 shipping (which includes full insurance) no matter how many items you purchase from this set of auctions! NOTE: Our $16 flat rate shipping is good for three weeks. If you haven't paid within three weeks after your oldest unshipped purchase, you will then be quoted the actual cost of shipping when you request it. Learn the exact details of flat rate shipping

Missouri customers: You must pay an additional 7.162% sales tax on your purchases. If your order is sent within the state of Missouri, we MUST collect this tax (if it is shipped to another state, we do not collect the tax).

Why $16 shipping this week?
This week only (because we are selling "very oversized" posters which do not fit in our standard mailers, and will need to be sent in large oversized mailers, or between heavy pieces of large cardboard), all U.S. buyers must pay a total of $16 shipping, whether you buy 1 item or 100 (or any number in-between). Note that we FULLY INSURE EVERY U.S. order we send! We will spend the shipping collected on virtually all orders, and we spend far more on those that involve lots of items and high dollar items.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING!
THE $16 LIKELY WILL NOT COVER OUR COST OF SHIPPING FOR MOST U.S. ORDERS (especially ones that include lots of posters), but we are keeping this special "$16 U.S. shipping" rate this week, as a special discount to our buyers of multiple items in our auctions, even though this means we will lose money on shipping a high percentage of U.S. packages!

Do you need "signature required"?
UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $3.87 for UPS or $2.35 for USPS that they charge for "signature required", and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package at the door, and you may well have to go to the UPS or USPS facility yourself to pick it up if you aren't there to meet the delivery person. But if you prefer this, that is fine, and if you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for your order. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED! Also, if your package is over $700 to the U.S., we will send it by Registered Mail, which DOES require a signature. If this is something you DON'T want, you must let us know.

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Thursday items need to be sent in oversized flat packages so... IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of purchases (assuming all the items fit into a single package; Learn More About Combining). If you win items over a span of more than 21 days, you will then be charged the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packing materials. *they can be combined with these auctions: Sunday September 21st groups of 2 or more 8" x 10" stills from the same title Tuesday September 23rd folded non-U.S. posters & non-U.S. lobbies Tuesday September 30th window cards, and large French & Italian posters Sunday October 5th single 8" x 10" stills Sunday October 12th books and miscellaneous items Tuesday October 14th folded one-sheets Thursday October 16th three-sheets, Argentinean, Italian Sunday October 19th groups of 2 or more 8" x 10" stills from the same title *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Thursday September 25th rolled one-sheets Sunday September 28th bulk lots (some may be combine-able, and if safe to do, we will do so) Thursday October 2nd "really oversized" items of all types (some may be combine-able, and if safe to do, we will do so) Tuesday October 7th rolled non-U.S. posters Thursday October 9th rolled one-sheets Tuesday October 21st rolled one-sheets

Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single set of Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items (even if you get 100 or more, but solely from a single set!), but we also allow you to wait until the next three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to nine sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible; see Learn More About Combining), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to nine of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package, but of course, there is a limit to how many items can fit in a single package or tube, and if you end up with several packages, you will need to pay that many shipping charges; Learn More About Combining). Since around half of our auctions have items that ship in tubes and the other half have items that ship in flat packages, and since few of those items can be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after three weeks. We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do (and of course, there are others who charge far more!), but none of the ones with lower rates offer the same generous flat rate shipping we do, and we know that our packaging is the best there is, and our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S. packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $16 U.S. SHIPPING!

Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or Airmail), plus $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen and a separate printed invoice mailed to you. All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or uninsured at the time they pay for their order.

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 6 consecutive weeks (a total of 18 auctions and around 15,000+ items!), and we then send all your purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click HERE to learn more (if you are not one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large "brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it. Note that there are also some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course this is not legal, and we can not do this. We have outlined the possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging materials)!
