PAYMENT:
Please do not pay until you have received an invoice. Payment is expected within 7 days of auction end, unless other arrangements have been confirmed through contact with us prior to auction end.
If you are a resident of Texas and wish for your invoice to reflect your "Tax Exemption", we will need a copy (via eBay email) of your Sales Exemption Certificate before we can update your invoice.

SHIPPING:
The invoice we send you will have several shipping options available for your selection.  If you have any shipping instructions for us, please contact us before bidding so we can make a note of such instructions and invoice you in a timely and accurate manor.  Insurance is MANDATORY on all items and is a nominal charge (see www.usps.com).  We will always try to COMBINE SHIPPING where possible on both domestic and international shipping.  PLEASE DO NOT USE THE EBAY SHIPPING CALCULATOR - THIS IS ONLY AN ESTIMATION OF ACTUAL SHIPPING - sometimes it is high, sometimes it is low, but it is almost always incorrect.  Additionally, this calculator does not account for MANDATORY INSURANCE costs.

Import taxes, VAT charges, etc. are the sole responsibility of the winning bidder.  We will not understate the value of the item(s) purchased as this constitutes customs fraud and is punishable by customs authorities and eBay.

Items will be packed with the utmost care, but occasionally items are damaged in transit.  This is why we require insurance.  We will use high quality shipping materials which may include bubble wrap, foam peanuts, paper and additional boxes (double boxing).  If an item is damaged, please contact us via email so we may initiate the insurance claim and return shipping (if necessary).  

WE ONLY CHARGE EXACTLY WHAT WE PAY FOR SHIPPING!  If there is ever an overage in the shipping charges, we will promptly refund the difference to the PayPal account provided.  Please contact us if you see a discrepancy in shipping charges that has not been addressed...we will happily correct it and appreciate the opportunity to "make it right" and provide you with the highest level of customer service.

LOCAL PICK-UP IS ALWAYS AN OPTION!

REFUND POLICY:
Please do all research before placing a bid.  Your bid is your contract to complete the transaction and purchase the item as described and pictured.
Returns are accepted (see listing for more details) and all returned items must be returned in the condition in which they were listed and shipped.  If you wish to return an item, you must contact us via email within 3 days of receiving the item (based on tracking details) and request a return.  If we are not contacted within this period, a return cannot be approved.  Buyer will be responsible for return shipping costs. 

SOME RETURNS WILL BE SUBJECT TO A 20% RESTOCKING FEE (AT SELLER'S DISCRETION).

For all international buyers who use 3rd party shippers, we require 3rd party shippers to act in accordance to the rules/regulations listed above.
