COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY:
1) I try to save buyers money by combining shipping whenever possible. However, the option for combined shipping will depend on the size & fragility of the item. I will not ship a heavy item in the same box with a fragile item - that’s just damage waiting to happen!
2) Also, please know that the USPS has specific guidelines for box sizes. Any package over 12” by 12” by 12” (or over 84" in combined length & girth) is considered large/over-sized and will have a significantly higher shipping cost, depending on the exact size & your postal zone.
I have absolutely no control over this!
It may actually be cheaper at times to ship in 2 smaller boxes rather than 1 larger one!
3) If the item description specifically states “no combined shipping”, that is because of #1 or #2 above and combined shipping will not be available.
