For Continental U.S.A. Shoppers,I will combine items if you purchase more than 1 item and if they can ship together there is no extra charge.

If both items are large I will still combine the items and there may be an small additional cost to cover the extra weight. I will email you with the details if this pertains to your order. Most times I am able to combine items and there is no extra charges at all.
