Collars for a Cause uses UPS or FedEx for all shipping. We charge flat rate shipping, handling and processing for all auction items within the United States, unless the terms indicate special delivery instructions. All auction items will be delivered within 7 to 10 business days once the auction is closed. We insure everything for the full value of the actual winning bid. We review the weight and value for all auction items and average the cost of shipping by location to determine a realistic shipping charge for all auction items.
