POSTAGE & OTHER INFO:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sent via 'Tracked post' in an envelope / satchel / box (usually via Australia Post).

I am happy to combine postage... Please check out my other items and contact me before payment so I can send an invoice with discounted postage (where relevant).

Insurance is extra and is generally RECOMMENDED. For insurance please select the second postage option (when stated) so I can allocate funds appropriately. Please understand that the seller cannot accept responsibility for lost or damaged items.

Please be advised that I don't usually post parcels to 'PO Boxes' (due to the chance of some parcels being rejected by the Post Office and returned to me). However, if you really need to use a PO Box then please message me and we'll try to work something out.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

If an International postage option is not shown, please message me before bidding/buying and I will confirm if I can post to you and estimate the cost. 

International items will usually be sent 'Standard' or 'Economy Air' (as Registered or Tracked mail). Please advise if you have time-sensitive requirements and I will endeavor to assist you where possible. Again, it is important to message me prior to purchasing so I can best assist you (and provide a more accurate quote).

Import duties, taxes, and charges aren't included in the item price or postage 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.

PHOTOS:

In some cases photo's are taken THROUGH protective plastic covers, so some marks/reflections are not always indicative of the item's actual condition.

ALL effort is made to best represent the item with quality photo's or stock images. But please understand that colours, lighting, reflections or sizing / scale may not seem (or be) entirely accurate. Consider the photo's a 'representation' of the item.

CANCELLATIONS / FEES:

Order cancellations are permitted before the item is sent, but there is a 10% restocking fee for 'preparation/handling' plus any 'postage' amounts that cannot be recovered (for example: 'Tracked postage envelopes' cannot be reused, therefore the cost needs to be recovered from the buyer).

Please take the time to check the Item Description and Photo's before purchase.

Thank-you.
