Shipping priority mail with the USPS not only provides insurance in case they mess it up some how (which it has happened to me before) but it also includes a tracking number so we can both keep tabs on it and 2 day delivery so you are not waiting for 2-4 weeks to receive it.
m glad you replied to her question before I bid. Just so you know in the future. Your auction(s) stated EXACT shipping. You are quoting – Priority Flat Rate price(s). EXACT is when the item(s) are weighed and zip codes are used to calculate the shipping cost OR it can be EXACT if the amount or if is specified in the description that you only use Priority FLAT RATE packages. FLAT RATE is priority flat rate shipping from the postal service with a set price OR an amount you decide upon. It is a different shipping option then the one posted on the auction.
Just so YOU know...EXACT shipping IS what I quoted. It is the exact amount that the USPS website gives me when I enter the zip codes and the weight. And the "flat rate" prices are more expensive anyway!
FYI: You should ask for a shipping quote before you bid anyway if you dont want to be "surprised" by the amount. "Exact shipping" is kind of a vague statement. I wish Listia had the option to calculate shipping for you like eBay does but it doesnt.
