*** Stock orders shipping via the USPS Priority EXPRESS to US addresses and placed before 10:00 a.m. US Central Time will ship that same day. Stock orders placed after that time will ship the next shipping day. The USPS Priority EXPRESS transit time to larger metropolitan areas is typically 1 business day. For rural areas and smaller cities, the transit time may be 2 business days. Feel free to inquire for USPS Priority EXPRESS Mail transit time to your zip code.

Dear International Customers:

COVID-19 has created some delays for international shipments. I've found that packages sometimes sit for a little while once they land in the destination country. I guess they are being allowed to sit in quarantine. Typically, the last scan before the delay will be when the package is processed through the Chicago International Distribution Center, though it can vary depending upon the destination country. Packages are scanned in the destination country after or as they clear the destination country customs processing. 

To help reduce delays as your package comes through your local customs service, I suggest contacting your postal service with the tracking number (or the customs office, depending upon your country) in advance. 

Thanks and best regards,
Vick

Example rates for one pair of glasses:

** - The rates above are example rates. Rates vary based on items purchased and destination nation. The rates above would be about right to most nations in or near Europe. Additional pairs sometimes ship for this same price or a small increment increase. Transit times are estimates and can differ based on location and your nation's customs processing time and also depend upon your national postal service. Each of the above shipping methods may not be displayed depending upon the items selected.

THE SHOPPING CART CALCULATES INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
The shopping cart will calculate shipping rates to most locations, worldwide. You'll get the exact rates during Step 2 of the Check-Out process and you can modify your order at that time. No credit card or PayPal information is collected until after this step.

EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL  OR  PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDED
I ship internationally via the US Postal Service (USPS) using Priority Mail EXPRESS International for shipping with tracking and insurance up to $200 included in the rate. I also offer USPS Priority Mail International for shipping with a tracking number. The USPS First Class International shipping option includes no insurance and no tracking and can take up to a month in transit, depending on customs processing in the receiving nation. If you select the First Class International, please expect an email from the Attic regarding the risks associated with this shipping method and do allow the extended time for your package to arrive. Some orders may require Priority Mail EXPRESS International and I will email regarding those orders. Using any method, packages are typically delivered by your country's national postal service. I don't cover lost or damaged items, so the Priority Mail EXPRESS International or the Priority Mail International are the recommended choices. I do pack very well and am happy to say I've still had no damage to any international shipments to date. 

INTERNATIONAL NAMES AND ADDRESSES MUST MATCH
When ordering from overseas, please be sure the order shipping name and shipping address matches the payment name and shipping address. This may mean you need to enter your shipping address when on the PayPal screen. If ordering from outside the USA for delivery to an address inside the USA, again, please be sure the payment shipping address is the correct shipping address. If names and addresses do not match, your order may have to be cancelled and re-submitted. If you have questions about name and shipping addresses matching, please feel free to email before ordering. Also, please use English characters when entering your address information because the Attic systems cannot handle non-English characters. 

NOTES ABOUT INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS
All packages carry address labels inside the package, in case your customs office misplaces the original packaging. The estimated transit times can be longer due to customs processing time in your country. Some countries may charge import duties and taxes and these will be the responsibility of the recipient. Customs forms will not list contents as a ''gift'' and will not be otherwise falsified. Also note that I only accept funds in US dollars for purchases from outside the US.

You are always welcome to inquire with questions or for a rate quote to your international location. If requesting a shipping quote, because rates vary based on weight, please include a list of what items you plan to purchase in your email. I'll do my best to respond promptly.
