YOUR ITEM WILL BE PACKED AND PADDED IN NEW BOXES AND VIRGIN MATERIALS THE WAY WE LIKE OUR TRAINS TO SHOW UP, AND OFTEN DON'T. I'M NOT SENDING YOUR TRAIN IN LAST NIGHT'S SAUSAGE AND EXTRA CHEESE PIZZA BOX TO BE SURE! It may be funny now, but not when it's your trains that come to you that way!!! Don't laugh, that happened! A note about our packaging: We only use new boxes or cardboard. All packaging materials and Kraft box tape are renewable and recyclable. Plastic in disposable packaging is just wrong for trains. I despise packing peanuts, so there's that too. We only charge actual cost of shipping from the carrier. No mark-ups on shipping to make up for an artificially low selling price to pull you in. We hate that game. I bet you do too. If you want shipping insurance on you item, please let me know via eBay messenger. We don't automatically provide it but can add it to the cost for you if you would like coverage. Meaningful tracking information is provided automatically when we actually ship the item. We do that quickly! We gladly combine shipping. If you add the item to your cart and when done, checkout using the cart icon. Sometimes eBay's combiner software gets wonky and the shipping cost ends up being higher than it should be, I will immediately refund the difference. We use USPS Ground Advantage for domestic shipping. It is the most economical method and I get discounts from eBay which I pass on to you. Sometimes 20% or more off retail rates. International shipping is done through USPS using eBay's Global Shipping Program, which we love. We adhere to the 3 day shipping window "on paper" since as much as we wish this were a full-time job, it's not. We will make sure your item gets out on-time, usually packed and ready to ship the same day and exceed your expectations. We get frustrated with vendors who print a shipping label and then sit on your item for three or four days before packing it up and shipping it out. Occasionally, your item will sit for a day in that status with me over a weekend if I get your order packed early. It typically means the Post Office is closed. Because the German government is making inbound shipping/packaging paperwork, package compliance and record keeping onerous, we sadly can't ship there or to the places we suspect to be "risky". We hope you understand. Thank You from us and thank you for supporting our family business. Any issues you have, please reach out to me via eBay messenger . I check it regularly
