J.Gault 1862 12 Cent Encased Postage Stamp

Please read the entire description.Please note that due to Ebay's new standards we have had to implement a strict shipping policy. Ebay uses a shipping calculator which automatically determines the shipping rate to your home. We have a standard handling charge of $1.00 for most items which is included in the rate shown. To see the rate for this item please click on the shipping tab. The rate should not be a surprise to anyone. If you do not like the rate charged,please do not bid and complain afterward. Shipping and handling does not include postage alone. We are a business and the handling charge helps us defray the costs of our overhead including a packager,private insurance,boxes,tape,peanuts,bubble wrap,envelopes,mailers,etc. Insurance alone now costs us a minimum of $1.00 per item insured so you can easily see that we are not being unreasonable. We will be happy to adjust the rates when more than one item is purchased. That being said,we would like to thank you for your cooperation and your bids. With the new star rating system it is almost impossible to meet the standards required. We do not want or need any problems after bids are placed.Multiple items may be combined to save on shipping costs whenever practical.This should be taken into consideration before bidding. All items will be well packaged. International shipments cannot be insured.
