Shipping Info:
National Geographic Maps-
For buying multiple maps add up the individual weights of the maps in grams which is shown in the descriptions. Then add on 40 grams for the envelope and backboard to give you the total weight. Then consult the chart below to give a shipping cost. For weights over 500 grams I will ship by Canada Post Small Packet Air. Consult the charts at the bottom of this page to find the shipping cost to your location by Small Packet Air.

Comic Books-
Acording to the Canadian Postal System I ship comics as Oversize Letter Mail when weight allows me to. If the quanity gets to the point it is too heavy for letter mail then I have to ship Expedited Parcel in Canada and Small Packet Air for US and International. I charge a standard rate for the first comic depending on if it is shippd local (Canada), US or International. This charge covers the actual shipping cost plus a little (.50 cents) to cover the material and handling; and any fluctuation of the Canadian dollar.
For multiple orders of comics I will offer discounts to give you the best price possible. Please refer to the chart below. If you plan on buying or bidding on more than one comic PLEASE email me to inform me before I send out the first invoice. I will hold orders for one week while you bid on other auctions.
Because of the variations in the weight of comics this table can only be used as an estimate for shipping cost but should give you a good idea. Table should work for most comics.
