eMoviePoster.comNon-U.S. Shipping Details
|
Normally we provide a chart containing estimated shipping charges for up to 3 items from a set of auctions, but since we are offering many, many different types of bulk lots that ship in different types of packages or tubes AND given the wildly different weights of the lots we are offering, we are unable to provide estimated shipping amounts for this set of auctions. Know that lots containing less than 20 items each will cost roughly between $50 and $75 to ship depending on what country you live in and what shipping method you choose. Lots containing more than 20 items (or lots containing HEAVY items) will ship for FAR higher amounts.
PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE BULK LOT AUCTIONS EXPECTING THE COST OF SHIPPING TO BE LOW! Some large lots
could easily cost over $120 to ship. Bear this added expense in mind BEFORE you place a bid, and include a guessed at "shipping amount" in the
amount you bid, so that you are paying the total you want (if you think shipping will be $70, and you want to pay $80 for the lot, then you can
only bid $10). |
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these
approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if
you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very
securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of
course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask
us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large
"brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it. Note that there are also
some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course
this is not legal, and we can not do this. We have outlined the
possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that
carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!
Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the United States?
Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or
relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders to a U.S.
address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON
SHIPPING! This is fine with us, but realize that you still need to let us know within one
week of receipt if you want to return anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain
you will want to keep your purchases.
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging
materials)!
We will ask you if you want your order insured. Here are the differences:
Insured |
Uninsured |
If anything happens to your package, it is
protected by the insurance. A claim could be filed with the postal carrier
in the event items are lost or damage. NOTE: The carrier will want to keep your damaged items if you file a claim. |
If anything happens to your package, it will be your responsibility. Because we pack so well, only a few packages to countries like Singapore and Thailand have been "lost" over the years, but it is impossible to predict when it might happen again. If this happens to your package, you would have no recourse, because you did not choose to have the package insured. |
Customs: It seems that it is more likely that you will be charged customs duties on your purchases if they are sent insured (but uninsured packages can incur the same fees). These fees (which may also include VAT fees) are charged by your country, and we have no control over whether it is charged or not, and you the buyer are responsible for paying any fees charged. | Customs: It appears that you are less likely to be charged customs duties (but sometimes it will still happen to uninsured packages), and remember the small risk of loss or damage to uninsured packages will be entirely YOUR risk. |
IMPORTANT! When you pay for your order, you MUST specify if you want it insured or uninsured. Otherwise, we will have to contact you again to get your choice which will delay shipment of your order. |
Our "Pay and Hold Program" will save you a lot of money on shipping by allowing you to pay for purchases over a long time frame (up to 16 weeks). Note that these ranges are the maximum time frame, but you can stop & request shipping at any time (but if you do so, we won't later add more purchases) and then have them combined into as few packages as possible for a lower overall shipping fee. Here is how it works:
Now this of course creates a LOT of extra work for us, but look at the great benefits! You are able to wait up to SIXTEEN weeks to have us ship items to you, and since we have THREE auctions every other week, you will be able to combine your purchases from a total of 12 auctions and around 16,000+ items before they are sent (as well as with our Fixed Price store items)! Of course we may still have to send two or more packages to you (if you purchased both "rolled" and "flat" items during that time, or if you purchased a LOT of items), but this "Pay and Hold" will surely save you LOTS of money in shipping costs (and we will gladly maintain two different Pay and Hold orders for you, one for rolled items, and one for flat items).
We know this results in a great decrease in shipping costs and hundreds of our customers have already taken advantage of this!
