Seller Terms and Conditions

Shipping and Handling...
U.S. Buyers (including Military APO / FPO): Please see current shipping terms and conditions on the listing's Shipping and Payments tab.
Tracking Information: Economy Shipping provides no tracking information. Risk of loss in transit and non-delivery risk are the buyer's responsibility. Standard Shipping and Expedited Shipping include tracking information as part of the cost, but are more expensive than Economy Shipping. While none of these methods guarantees delivery, both Standard Shipping and Expedited Shipping provide an added level of protection / peace of mind in that if the mail piece is lost, the carrier has an idea of where to start looking for it.
Shipments outside of the US receive the level of tracking that come with the shipment method chosen. All non-US shipments are assigned a Customs Number, which may or may not provide limited tracking information once the shipment leaves the U.S. Read More Here...
Multiple Items: Regardless of your choice of shipping method, purchases of five (5) or more items -- if all items are shipping to the same address -- will ship at the rate chosen (if not Standard or Expedited) using Standard Shipping and the buyer will receive tracking information. Any difference in cost between Standard Shipping and Economy Shipping will be paid by the seller. Again, multiple item orders of five or more items must ship to the same verified PayPal address for this option to apply.
Free Shipping: Combined and single-item purchases in excess of the minimum threshold for Free Shipping will be Shipped Free of charge via Standard Shipping. You have the option of paying the difference between Standard Shipping and Expedited Shipping at Checkout. Free Shipping applying to a single item is clearly noted on the item's listing.

I am a life-long collector of stamps; the son and grandson of men who were, among other endeavors, stamp collectors their entire lives as well. I am in the process of liquidating their combined collections consisting of Mint and Used singles, blocks, plate blocks, sheets, covers, postal history and First Day Covers.
Having been the owner of a chain of brick and mortar retail stores ? as well as an internet retailer ? throughout the 1990s, I know what customers expect from the people with whom they do business, and my goal for every transaction is to offer nice material at reasonable prices while at the same time offering the highest level of customer service possible.
I believe you will find my terms to be reasonable and to be the same that you would use if our roles were reversed. If you don't, let me know what you disagree with and I'll consider all suggestions.
