Delivery is provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS). All orders are packaged with extra care, generally in a new book box with protective plastic & bubble wrap, and Media Mail is the normal shipping service. International shipping may incur additional charges due to rate increases with USPS (depending on the weight of the parcel). And if there is a need for additional shipping fees then I will only charge (request) the precise amount necessary, since I can't absorb those costs. Thank you!
