Your item will be parceled as soon as payment has been received and will be posted usually the next day. If you have any problems with the item, I would be grateful if you would contact me first, I will do my best to resolve the matter before you leave feedback. I do combine postage for items bought over a 5 day period, thats not a problem at all. I would be grateful if payment could be met within 5 days or at least notice of payment pending.
