About the shipping of the bulk lots in this set of auctions
In the past, we have completely packed all of the bulk lots, which meant that you couldn't easily combine any of them, especially the ones that included a lot of items. But now we are only slightly packing them, so that once the auction is over, WE WILL BE ABLE TO COMBINE BULK LOTS INTO AS FEW SINGLE TUBES OR BOXES AS POSSIBLE (as much as is safely "combine-able")!
This will make these great deals even better, because you may buy say, 10 flat bulk lots, and we might well be able to send them all in a single box (and if not, it will certainly be fewer than 10 separate packages). So be sure to look over all of these bulk lots carefully, because there will surely be many excellent deals!

About the condition of the items
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", and "good", with only a few graded "fair" or lesser) 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. Of course, with the items that have many pages, we could not photograph every single page, but we often photograph both covers and an interior two-page spread, which should surely give you an excellent idea of the overall condition of that item.

U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order plus $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen (you can choose either the U.S. Post Office or UPS (since you are paying it, you can choose the method you prefer). All U.S. orders will be sent fully insured.

NOTE: Our Pay and Hold Program (see below for how this works) allows you to have your purchases sent every TWELVE weeks, which means we will only send you packages four times a year. We urge that all of our customers who plan to buy from future auctions join the Pay and Hold Program, because it really saves you a massive amount on shipping!

Missouri, California, Washington, and Illinois customers: If your order is sent within these states, we MUST collect sales tax, and we will do so automatically (unless you have a Reseller Certificate from your state in which case you need to reply to this email with a copy of that Certificate, so you can be exempted from the sales tax).

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 12 consecutive weeks (a total of 18 auctions and around 24,000+ items!), and we then send all your purchases at once saving you LOTS of money!

We require "signature required" on all orders over $100, unless the customer accepts responsibility
 Neither UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so in order for a signature to be required, you need to pay the extra $5.00 for UPS or $2.60 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. We add "signature required" to all orders over $100, because of the drastic rise in "porch thefts" (packages being stolen after they are left off). We WILL allow you to have your package sent without signature required if it is over $100, but only if YOU accept full responsibility if it is stolen after it is left off, and if you agree to not file for a refund from your credit card company or Paypal (because they would take the money from us). We can't accept the responsibility if your package is stolen, so we require full insurance and signature required, unless YOU want that responsibility and say so in writing.

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These items need to be sent in a variety of ways (as noted on the individual auction pages) so... *Most of the "flat" items can be combined with these auctions (however, if your purchases can be sent "Media Mail", then they can't be combined with the below) and we will combine them automatically if there is no chance of damage to any of them items you win: Thursday May 13th pressbooks, heralds, programs, glass slides & more Sunday May 16th most of the bulk lots that ship in flat packages Tuesday May 25th Argentinean, Italian, French, 3sh, 6sh, and similar Thursday May 27th folded one-sheets and folded non-U.S. Thursday June 10th single lobby cards and stills *Most of the "rolled" items can be combined with these auctions and we will combine them automatically if there is no chance of damage to any of them items you win: Tuesday May 11th rolled one-sheets, non-U.S, and special posters Sunday May 16th most of the bulk lots that ship in tubes Sunday May 30th inserts, 1/2-shs, small non-U.S Tuesday June 8th rolled one-sheets, non-U.S, and special posters *Most items that ship in boxes usually CAN'T be combined with other non-boxed items, but if they can be safely combined with any other purchases you made, we will be sure to do so!

Note that (if you join our Pay and Hold Program) we allow you to wait to have your purchases shipped until a total of twelve auctions have ended 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 all those items, 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 two types of items can be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after twelve 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 combined 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 ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging materials)!

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.

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!

Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the United States?
Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders to a U.S. address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON SHIPPING! This is fine with us, but realize that you still need to let us know within one week of receipt if you want to return anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain you will want to keep your purchases.

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