Envelopes: We use DuPont™ MPak™ Tear & Water resistant envelopes to ship small orders. (see shipping rates) These envelops have a tough, flexible, non-paper material that is extremely light yet stronger than conventional kraft paper. For additional support and strength, we insert 1/8 inch rigid cardboards inside every envelope. Now, they are virtually indestructible!

Custom Made Boxes: Designed to our specifications; our strong corrugated shipping boxes are used for medium & large orders. These Bullitt proof boxes can hold up to 10 magazines or 20 Ads and/or Articles and/or Road Tests. (see shipping rates) Room is allowed on all four sides of items in case box is banged around during shipping. We also use enough padding to prevent damages if the box is crushed.

Proven Methods: Our experience showed us that it's risky to squeeze more than two magazines in a single envelop or to use bigger boxes to ship more than 10 magazines at the same time. For years, we've been using these same shipping methods and we never had even one damaged piece of literature while in transit to our customer's home or workplace. Our goal is quite simple: we want our customers to receive their pieces of literature and/or art prints in the same exact condition they were sent.

Of course, the more you will buy, the more you will save money on shipping.

Important Note: Please do not ask us to ship your magazines and Ads, articles or Road Tests together; we won't. Magazines are always shipped separately from Ads, Articles or Road Tests which are shipped together. Art Prints are shipped one at the time either in a tube when applicable or flat between heavy-duty cardboards in an Oversize envelope.

We take our grading responsibility very seriously, and base our selections on what we would expect to see coming from these grades when we are out buying Car magazines or other auto literature ourselves.

Please keep in mind that the specifics of each grade are not inclusive, and that only a few, and typically just one or two, of these traits will show up in any particular item.

Please note that we never use expressions like "Excellent Condition for age", "Looks New" or "Looks Great" which are not appropriate for grading literature.
