Selling by the each for those needing to replace a broken piece or keeping up with their growing family. Discounts for multiple purchases. usually discounts the shipping costs for multiple purchase instead of simply adding the same shipping costs for each purchase quantity???but not always??(I?m unsure why or what causes that). If that happens I will refund any shipping over and above the actual cost to ship the multiple items to you. My only concern is getting these works of art to you in one piece, not making money on shipping; that?s for UPS.
