WE REQUIRE SHIPPING INSURANCE ON ALL ITEMS Shipping insurance is purchased from a private insurance provider that offers insurance on all major shipping carriers worldwide. We require that our buyers purchase insurance on all items. The insurance charge is $1.00 on each item. This insurance protects your purchase against loss or damage while in transit.
Shipping charges vary by item and are shown on each item's page. Each item has a "First Item" shipping rate as well as an "Additional Item" shipping rate. The "First Item" rate is used if the item is the first or only item on an order. The "Additional Item" rate is used if the item is another item on a multi-item order.
For a multi-item order the item with the highest "First Item" rate will be used for the first item and all other items in the order will use the "Additional Item" rate.
Example: Your order has 3 items on it with the following shipping rates specified for the items.
| First Item Shipping | Additional Item Shipping | Insurance |
| $3.25 | $2.00 | $1.00 |
| $5.25 | $2.50 | $1.00 |
| $4.25 | $2.00 | $1.00 |
The shipping charge would be calculated using the $5.25 rate for the first item and $2.00 each for the second and third items on the order. So the total shipping and insurance for this example would be calculated as follows:
| | Shipping | Insurance | Total |
| First Item | $5.25 | $1.00 | $6.25 |
| Additional Item | $2.00 | $1.00 | $3.00 |
| Additional Item | $2.00 | $1.00 | $3.00 |
| Total Shipping & Insurance | $12.25 |
