The following guidelines apply to the sale of Postage Items from my Stamp collection. Many of these are different guidelines than my policies for non-postage items.
USA SHIPPING POLICY
All state taxes are the responsibility of buyers in the U.S. and will be collected by eBay. Oregon does not have a sales tax.
All items are shipped using the United States Postal Service.
eBay requires tracking on packages.
However, low value shipments (under $25) can be sent via regular first-class mail without tracking, if the buyer is willing to accept the responsibility in the event of loss.
Packages valued between $25 and $1,000 will be sent with tracking and insurance.
Packages valued over $1000 must be sent via USPS Express mail (insured) the cost of which will be included on buyers invoice.
To save money, we do combine shipping for items purchased within a seven day purchase period. Please request an invoice before paying for multiple lots.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POLICY
Packages under $100 can be sent via regular first class mail if the buyer is willing to accept the responsibility in the event of loss.
Due to the high number of recent losses, packages over $100 in value and under 4 pounds in weight will be shipped via registered mail, and a $16.00 registered fee is added to the cost of the postage.
Postage is based on weight and destination. Packages over $1,000 and/or over 4 pounds will be sent via express mail and those shipping charges are based on total weight and destination.
To save money, I do combine shipping for items purchased within a seven-day purchase period. Please request an invoice before paying for multiple lots.
Because I provide detailed descriptions and detailed photos, generally speaking I do not accept returns?.however, if you believe an item was materially mis-represented by the photos, let me know and we will work something out. I have always had customers that are pleased with my items and my service, and I intend to continue that reputation.
Many of my customers make multiple purchases time and time again, because of the quality of the items I sell and the service I provide.
I am not a dealer. I have been collecting stamps for more than 60 years; I have been an individual member of APS for many years; and now I am selling off my collection of more than 20,000 high quality stamps.
Thank you,
