SPECIAL NOTE: SOMETIMES I RE-USE MY OWN STOCK PHOTO RATHER THAN TAKE A NEW ONE. THIS IS BECAUSE I MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE OF THE SAME ITEM BEING SOLD, OR I GET THIS ITEM ON A REGULAR BASIS AND WISH TO SAVE THE TIME OF TAKING PICTURES OF THE EXACT SAME THING IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. OCCASIONALLY MANUFACTURERS LABELS MAY VARY, BUT NEVER THE QUALITY.
PLEASE EXAMINE MY PICTURES CLOSELY...I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS ITEM AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, AND TRIED TO POINT OUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS. MOST OF THIS YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE, BUT I WILL STILL MENTION IT. MORE THAN LIKELY YOU CAN'T BE HERE TO TOUCH AND CLOSELY EXAMINE IT, SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE MOST COMPLETE AND HONEST DESCRIPTION I CAN. IF I HAVE MISSED ANYTHING, PLEASE CALL IT TO MY ATTENTION, SO I CAN UPDATE THE DESCRIPTION.
- POLITE NOTICE: ALL ITEMS BEING SOLD IN MY LISTINGS WORK/OPERATE CORRECTLY, OTHER THAN AS NOTED. NO MATTER HOW WELL YOUR PURCHASED ITEM IS PACKED, STRANGE THINGS SOMETIMES HAPPEN DURING SHIPPING. THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PACKER, RATHER IT IS THE ABUSE OF SHIPPING...NO MATTER WHICH CARRIER IS USED. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN THE SHIPMENT ARRIVES, A CLAIM MUST BE MADE TO YOUR POST OFFICE...SAVE ALL THE PACKAGING, BECAUSE THAT IS REQUIRED. PROBLEMS/DAMAGE RARELY HAPPEN, BUT THEY HAPPEN. THE POST OFFICE IS THE BEST OF ALL THE CARRIERS AT SOLVING ANY PROBLEMS/CLAIMS. HOPEFULLY THESE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS WILL SAVE YOU SOME OF THE HASSLE.
ALOHA E! PLEASE PAY PROMPTLY! ALL SALES FINAL...PLEASE REVIEW PICTURE(S) AND DESCRIPTIONS. ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. SHIPPING TO ALL 50 STATES PREFERRED. IF YOU ARE BIDDING FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY, I PREFER TO SHIP TO YOUR FREIGHT FORWARDER IN THE UNITED STATES. IF I SHIP DIRECTLY, EXTRA SHIPPING PER POSTAL RATE SCHEDULE APPLIES, ACTUAL COSTS TO BE DETERMINED AT END OF AUCTION AND I WILL ONLY SHIP TO A VERIFIED ADDRESS. THE BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CUSTOMS PROCESSING AND FEES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF I ERR IN ESTIMATING SHIPPING CHARGES, I DO REFUND FOR OVER-PAYMENTS, AND I DO RE-INVOICE FOR UNDERPAYMENT BALANCES. I RELY ON YOUR HONESTY, JUST AS YOU RELY ON MINE.
AN EDUCATIONAL NOTE ON SHIPPING: HAWAII IS A LITTLE SPECK OF LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A GIANT EXPANSE OF OCEAN. WE ARE 2500 MILES FROM THE NEAREST ANYTHING IN ALL DIRECTIONS. WHATEVER DOESN'T ARRIVE OR LEAVE BY AIRFREIGHT IS BROUGHT IN CONTAINERS BY SHIPS. BECAUSE OF THIS, EVERYTHING COSTS MUCH MORE HERE AND TAKES LONGER THAN IT DOES ON THE MAINLAND. I TRY TO KEEP SHIPPING COSTS TO A MINIMUM FOR YOU, BUT IT DOES COST MORE THAN ON THE MAINLAND BECAUSE OF OUR UNIQUE LOCATION AND SITUATION. IF THERE IS A CHEAPER WAY TO SHIP SOMETHING I WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO FIND IT. HOWEVER, CHEAPER USUALLY MEANS M..U..C..H....S..L..O..W..E..R. I DO REFUND EXCESS SHIPPING WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE BIDDING/BUYING IN MORE THAN ONE AUCTION/LISTING, SO I CAN HOLD YOUR WON ITEMS AND COMBINE EVERYTHING AT THE END.
