I do NOT guarantee delivery by a certain date. I will guarantee shipping by a certain date, but I can not control the post office, so I can not say if your order will arrive in time or not.
FYI shipping charges reflect postage as well as packaging materials and other indirect costs. I take a lot of pride and care in packaging my items to make sure they arrive to you in the same condition they left me.
If there are any special requests, please contact me.
