International Orders:

International orders are sent First Class Package International.  Rates begin at $17.50.

International orders that are being sent with insurance or weighing over 4 pounds or valued at $400 or more, per USPS regulations, must be sent via Priority Mail International.

Insurance

The reason we strongly recommend that you purchase insurance is; although we do take extreme care in the packaging of your specimen(s), we cannot control what the USPS or any other carrier does to your package once we ship your order.  In other words If you choose to have your order sent without insurance, Cal Neva Mineral Company assumes no liability in regards to the condition your order arrives in.

International Customers: depending on the country that we are shipping to, insurance may not be available or the amount of insurance that can be purchased may be limited. Please contact us for further information about insurance for international orders.
