International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not
included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's
responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs
office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or
buying.
Please note: I have no love of import/export taxes or customs
duties. That said, I pay mine and if your country has them it is your
responsibility to pay yours. Many sellers raise their shipping or merchandise
prices to offset the added expense caused by customs returns when customers
fail to pay or pick up their items from customs. I refuse to penalize good
customers for this-I simply block bad ones from purchasing my goods in the
future.
Customs tips: 1) Include a dependable phone
number with your eBay shipping address to be printed on your shipping label. This
way they at least have the ability to contact you if they have questions. 2)
Know how to contact your local customs office prior to purchasing your goods
and contact them yourself if you haven’t received your goods within the
expected delivery time (over 3 weeks usually means it is time to make that
phone call). Your local mail delivery person is usually a good source for this
contact information. 3) Don’t assume that customs is looking to tax you (they
will if your goods exceed your country’s minimum tariff values for imports).
Often it is simply a question or 2 they need answered. Once you let them know
that your “set of German Commandos throwing grenades” is simply an inert WWII
model in 1/76 scale….they will likely send it on its way:) 4) Lastly-please NEVER
ask me to lie on my customs forms. You would be amazed at how often I get this
request. Consider this-if I were to do such a thing, I would be risking my eBay
account (my job), my access to US Mail (again, my job), criminal prosecution (not
as bad as losing eBay..but significant!) and quite sadly the last consideration
is my own integrity? Gimme a break fellas:) I’ll bend over backwards to get you
guys rare toys at awesome prices…but here’s where I draw the line. And FYI
pictures of me bending over backwards are not available at any price:)
I combine
shipping whenever possible, ship at actual cost, and
refund any overpayment via PayPal within minutes of printing your shipping
label. Slower method, but you see shipping cost prior to
paying: Order all of your items, DO NOT PAY, request a combined invoice
from me, I send you a revised invoice with the correctly adjusted shipping
charge, you pay, then I ship.
Fastest
method-order all of your items, pay, I adjust your invoice for any overpayment
and ship immediately. As a general rule (90+% of the time) more items =
significantly lower shipping costs per item.
