For domestic orders:
I charge a flat rate shipping and handling fee of $3.50 for most orders, including now the FiddleStone Loops.

I ship First Class for domestic orders.
Generally this tends to take 1-4 business days, though occasionally, on very rare occasions, it has taken US mail a bit longer - generally it just depends on what sort of delivery service your area gets.
I use Delivery Confirmation for tracking on all domestic orders - you get that number when I send out the Delivery Confirmation email (sent via Paypal or Google depending on which one you used to checkout with) once your package is ready to go to the post office.
Orders can be combined though, so one necklace or three, the shipping rate is the same.

Standard shipping is free on all orders over $100.

Faster rates are available:
Priority Mail (2-4 days) is $8
Express Mail (overnight in most areas) is $22
Please contact me if you are in a hurry.

Folks have asked, so I've made additional Insurance available in the Extras page by clicking here.

For International orders:
(Estimated shipping times are taken from USPS website - so they reflect the number of days the item will be transported in the mail from the time delivered to the post office.)
First-Class Mail International (7-15 days - insurance/tracking not available): $7 USD (Standard International Shipping, free with orders over $100)
The one exception is for Canada, which is only $4USD using standard first-class USPS airmail, although buyer be aware that customs has been known to delay these packages as much as several weeks.

I ship orders at First Class International USPS. (I do not use UPS or other options unless we've discussed this before ordering - I have heard they charge rather hefty "brokerage fees" to customers at delivery to customs whereas USPS service does not add anything like that)
Time for delivery on such orders varies according to customs at your border. Orders to Norway, for example, are taking about 10 days. Orders to Australia are faster, averaging as quickly as 5 days. Canada mail is on the slower end of the delivery rates, averaging at 15 days, but taking occasionally a bit longer.
There's no way to track international orders, but I will send you a note when it gets delivered to the post office. Postage with insurance may allow for better tracking if things take a long time, but it's very expensive.

If you prefer faster delivery/tracking options, the following options are available:

• International Expedited (Ships "Priority" 6 - 10 Days - insurance and tracking not available): $14 USD
• International Priority Air (6 - 10 Days + includes insurance): $27 USD
• International Express Air (3 - 5 Days + includes insurance AND guaranteed tracking through USPS): $29 USD
