Shipping policy

  • Handling & Packaging Standards: Explicitly state how cards are protected.
    • Single Cards: Mention use of penny sleeves, top loaders, and team bags to prevent sliding or moisture damage.
    • High-Value Items: Specify that cards over a certain value (e.g., $20+) are "sandwiched" between cardboard and shipped in bubble mailers or boxes.
  • Order Processing Times: State how many business days it takes to prepare an order (e.g., 1–3 days).
  • Shipping Methods & Tiers:
    • Standard: Lower cost (e.g., Plain White Envelope for low-value singles).
    • Tracked/Expedited: Recommended for orders over $20 to ensure security for both buyer and seller.
  • International Shipping: Detail regions served and clear notice that buyers are responsible for customs duties/taxes.
  • Pre-order Policy: If selling new Pokémon sets, specify that pre-orders ship on or near the official release date.
