Usually priority mail, but also first class , or Parcel post.   Shipping & handling is calculated per item; but if we can combine items in a single package and save on shipping/handling we will send a bit more metal than shows on the invoice or label, and or upgrade all the items in the package to PRIORITY MAIL.   Some items cannot be shipped together due to weight and size as they may damage each other or be unstable due to weight. This is why we are unable to calculate any way other than individually.         SHIPPING ADDRESS: When ordering please give your correct postal delivery address, this automatically goes on your shipping label. This appears on the final page before you pay. SEE A PICTURE OF THIS ORDER PAGE   Otherwise packages will ship to the shipping address that was originally provided to your Pay Pal account.
