This plate features cats sitting in shopping bags. It is titled “Bag Ladies”, and is from a year 2000 series of plates offered by The Bradford Exchange. It is a Premier Issue, is a numbered limited edition plate in the “Purr-fect Packages” collection by Braldt Bralds.
The plate is ceramic and measures about 9 by 7 inches. It will come with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). It is in excellent condition with no chip, cracks, or other damage.
I purchased three different plates in this series at an estate sale. Originally the series contained four plates but the lady I purchased them from said that one got knocked off her wall and broke, thus only three plates were left. I will be offering the other two in other listings.
Buyer to pay USPS Insured Priority Mail shipping charges of $10.95. Shipping is from Arizona
A personal note about shipping costs….
The shipping charges are set by the U.S. Postal Service.
Here’s the reason for the high charges….. Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become more profitable.
On top of the three increases, the postal service has now divided the nation in to 8 postal zones. Each time a package crosses into another zone, the price increases. I am in Arizona, so most all of my shipments pass through multiple zones.
It's a 10 year plan that the postal service started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases of shipping charges each year. I fear seeing what the costs will be at the end of the plan.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
