The “combined shipping” option is not enabled, and shipping fees apply to each lot individually. In practice, multiple lots may be shipped together in one package, but the shipping charges will still be applied per lot. For shipments to Italy Based on past experience, deliveries to Italy often take longer than usual. If you are bidding from Italy, please kindly take this into consideration before placing your bid. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your local customs office to confirm any additional costs before bidding or buying."
