This weighs approximately 4-1/2 lbs unpacked & will be shipped in a box that measures 17" x 13" x 13" --- not sure if the size of this box will require extra postage, but I have included these measurements in the eBay shipping calculator.  I will take extra care in packing this and expect the shipping cost to be calculated on the 5+ to 6-lbs rate for USPS Parcel Select Ground & Priority Mail shipping options. Excess shipping charges greater than will be refunded.  Payment is expected within three (3) calendar days after auction close.
Local pickup is an option.
Shipping costs & estimated delivery times are established by the carrier & are beyond my control. I do not charge a handling fee nor do I factor in the fee eBay charges me on the shipping cost. Delivery dates have been taking longer than the shipping calculator is estimating. Please keep these factors in mind when you rate me on the shipping costs & delivery times when leaving feedback.
Sorry, but no combined shipping on this item.
