INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ONLY TO CANADA
***
Due to the US post office inability to track shipments beyond the US border (Canada is the only exception currently), and especially due to the fact eBay holds its Sellers financially responsible for international shipments proven to have left the US but not delivered by international customs or post offices, I offer my sincere apologies for no longer being able to sell to international locations (other than Canada).
The financial risk to me has proven to be too great.
Please feel welcome to contact me with any questions.
