Residents of CANADA only. (NOT applicable to buyers from other countries) With regret, postage quoted for Canadian buyers on your initial invoice will NOT be correct. There is an additional $Au8.00 surcharge for REGISTERED DELIVERY. Please AWAIT UPDATED INVOICE before making payment. This decision by us follows several poor experiences in deliveries, both to and from your country. Deliveries frequently take 6 weeks (7-10 days elsewhere), and even 3 months. While most buyers are honest and have repaid refunds, acknowledging both delivery and date posted, a few folk seem to forget. So, apart from hassles and correspondence back-and-forth, we not only lose the product, but also pay the postage and Ebay & Paypal commissions for the privilege. But to better things: To best view pictures in greater detail, do not forget the ZOOM function on your computer, as well as Ebay services. We provide sufficient pictures for you to best judge the suitability of an item for your needs. We use quality Australia Post packaging for safe, protective delivery.
