Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

"La Cocha Bruja"
Existió en este pueblo una mujer que estaba poseída por el mal y que en las noches de luna llena se convertía en una marrana que salía a las calles en busca de hombres aventureros para llevarlos a los barrancos y tirarlos al fondo.
