About Shipping:
I try to ship the same day I receive your payment, and same‑day shipping is free. If your payment arrives before 12 pm California time, I usually get your order into the mailbox that afternoon. Payments received after 12 pm will be mailed the next day.
Delivery times vary depending on your location and USPS First Class Mail. I find USPS to be very reliable overall, and using traditional stamped First Class mail rather than a more expensive tracked method helps keep costs down — which means the savings stay in your pocket. Most of my items include free shipping.
