View sellers shipping policy

We ship the cheapest we possibly can with the sale of our minerals and specimens and do not make money from postage costs.  

Due to increasing postage costs, we currently charge $8 for domestic orders in the USA and $20 for international orders.  If the weight of the specimens is heavy (especially over 8 ounces) it can increase this cost a lot, so please be aware.

 

All items will combine with postage.  If you buy 8 items that can all fit in a box that ships for $8, you will only be charged the $8.
