Payment and Shipping:
Florida residents are subject to 7% sales tax. Other states will add
taxes as local laws allow.
All
payments are handled through eBay’s managed payment system. Payment is expected within 72 hours of the
end of an auction and immediately with Buy it Now. Please pay promptly. If
you anticipate a problem paying within that time frame, please contact us to
make arraignments. After 4 days eBay as part of their Seller Protection Program
will start an Unpaid Item Claim automatically. Items not paid for within 96
hours are subject to re-listing.
All
items will ship within 24
hours of your cleared payment. Unless stated otherwise in
the posting or agreed upon prior to the end of the auction, all items will
be shipped either by USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, FedEx Ground or UPS
Standard Ground. We prefer Priority Mail for items less than 4 pounds. If
you require a specific shipping method, please contact us as we will try
to accommodate your wishes.
We
do include a handling charge of $18.50 on this order ($20.00 internationally). This charge includes the cost of insurance, and for shipments within the United States, signature confirmation of delivery. We pack very well
(check our feedback) and we can’t get those darn packing peanut or bubble wrap
trees to produce anything for us. Shipping costs
are based upon your address and are calculated by eBay for the shipper you
choose. We have no control over these charges and we do not profit from
shipping. Please remember this when leaving your feedback because any
Detailed Seller Rating (stars) less than 5 hurts the seller when it comes to
our service incentives.
P.O.
Box: Shipping to
a P.O. Box requires U.S. Postal Service delivery.
INSURANCE: We insure
all items that we sell. The cost of insurance is included in our handling
charge.
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING: We do ship
internationally. If you are interested in this item and your country is not
available for bidding, we will open it to bidding provided that you have a
verifiable address, PayPal account and are an eBay member with appropriate good
ratings.
We do not represent international
shipments as gifts. All
international shipments are accurately described and are valued at the final
selling price. International buyers are responsible for all shipping and
insurance costs in addition to all other charges including but not limited to
clearance and/or customs fees, duties and/or taxes along with any brokerage
fees that may be charged by the shipper. Please be familiar with the laws of
your country.
Please Note: If this item is old, vintage, or
collectible glass, pottery, or porcelain it is to be considered used unless we
state that it is new. If it is glass and it was handmade, and/or made prior to
1960, please be aware that as such, it may or may not contain things such as
debris, grit, carbon flecks, bubbles, and straw marks, alone or in combination.
These are not defects and can be expected. This how pieces were delivered from
the factory and to collectors they are unremarkable, especially in hand blown
items. We will not note any of these unless they are present to an unusual
degree. We strive to describe what we sell completely and honestly and will
always to the best of our ability disclose any non-factory flaw that we detect
such as chips, flea bites, cracks, hairlines, scratches, staining, or
repairs.
