All rulers, meter sticks, hangars, racks, train-tracks, etc. used to display or give size or color reference, etc. do not go with he item unless specified. I get my stuff from a local auction or a thriftshop. I live and ship from within 50 miles of Portland, Oregon so they are here and not on a ship. I use USPS for my ease and it enables me to ship at that price to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, APOs, etc. that have US Postal Service. I use shipping provided by the website and USPS tracking is standard. If you request it then I can go to the FedEx or UPS store. The store is about 8 miles away and I can only fit my schedule on Tuesday. Shipping outside the U.S. needs to go USPS Priority or USPS Priority Express because both of those include insurance plus select Delivery Confirmation. I do combine shipping.
