    Shipping
    : All
    DOMESTIC
    shipping charges
    INCLUDE
    insurance.  We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do
    NOT
    insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote.   We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time.
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what
    YOU
    pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the
    ACTUAL
    shipping costs!   This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are only  estimates.
    Ingram's MILK WEED Cream was a complexion cream that also doubled as a quack remedy used to cure burns, mosquito bites, poison oak, sun burn, etc.   These are an early jar as some even were hand blown into mold, ones just like this one.  Yet what makes this one so
    collectible
    by far is the LARGE BACKWARDS "N" on the base embossing, a blatant mold maker's mistake from a century ago, a sign of the times,
    check it out!
