Hello All.

As we all know, its getting close to that "Holiday Push" for the USPS, UPS, & Fedex Carries. These carriers already handle Millions of packages every day through-out the year...And the numbers will only go up with these Holidays Coming!

We...As sellers offer our customers "their choice" of shipping preferred. Some buyers look for the cheapest form of shipping, Some buyers want Priority or Tracking on their items they win. I know, when shopping myself, I like to be able to Choose my shipping preferred.

There are many factors when choosing your shipping preferred. Is the item a vintage item, of course the price of item, where the seller is located, and most important....their feedback as a Seller. These are very important factors.....Let Alone...the Holiday Push Season.....

If you don't want to spend the extra money to have priority tracking, ask your seller to send a scanned receipt from the USPS, at least you will know item was shipped.

(( I always get a receipt from the USPS, and have them write the buyers name on receipt and keep on file at home )) ------ Only for OverSeas Buyers. Some areas of the world, shipping gets lost, or maybe even stolen....So when a buyer asked: Where is my stuff? I can send them this infomation......

I always Clearly State....Priority Shipping or International Priority Shipping is the Best way to go. 1st Class Mail or 1st Class AIR MAIL....Your rolling the dice folks....

Buyers Need To Be Aware.....If you don't want to spend the extra for Tracking...don't get upset or post negative feedback if you don't pay for Tracking...We the Sellers offer great items to folks around the world, we package it carefully, THEN we hand it over to the Shipping company "You Choose" from. From there, its out of our hands.

................................And with the Holiday Push Upcoming, I strongly suggest people getting Priority Shipping. The USPS Employes People....People which can have Human Errors when delivering.....

Haven't you ever received your Neighbors Mail By Accident?

And with Christmas around the corner...Maybe that package will get delivered to that Neighbor "you can't stand".....Think they will bring it to you?

So please, carefully think it over, what is your item won worth to you....
