RETURNS
If on checking the item over, you are not 100% happy with it, I will happily refund the purchase cost & postage, once the item has been safely returned.

UK POSTAGE
As much as I would love to use 'cheap couriers', it's proven to be unreliable in the past, plus these companies do not insure lenses & cameras against loss/damage in transit.
I send Insured and Tracked, this costs a little more, but it's guaranteed to arrive safely & in good time.

I post out every other day so please allow a little extra time for it to be delivered.

GLOBAL SHIPPING
Postage is through 'ebay's global postage' at ebay's set prices.
Once purchased, I post the item to ebay's central UK shipping centre, where the parcel is re addressed and forwarded to the buyer, any Import tax will be shown on the buyers ebay page and will need to be paid by the buyer.

EQUIPMENT CHECKS

Firstly camera and lens bodies are cleaned & sanitized, before being given a thorough check over, anything I am unable to test, or found to be not working, will be included in the condition description above. 

For cameras, checks are made on: the body condition/Programme Modes/ASA settings/winder operation/light seals/shutter curtain/shutter speeds/film compartment/battery compartment/light meter/self timer/flash synchro/viewfinder/focus screen/mirror condition.

If I have the correct film available, this will be run through the camera to ensure that the film advance, rewind & film counter are working correctly.

For lenses, checks are made on: the body condition/lens optics/focusing mechanism/aperture settings/diaphragm blades/pre-set mechanism etc.

Good
 all functions tested and working but body has age related scuffs and wear marks, the mechanical operation may be slightly stiff/loose but is still totally useable.

Untested

Mixed Condition
 for example, if overall the item is 'Very Good' but it has an issue such as the light meter is not working. I will describe it as 'Very Good' but state the issue in the condition description above.
