How well will you pack my item?

I work hard to pack carefully. If your item is very fragile or heavy, it will be shipped in a wooden crate at no additional cost. I have had very few packages ever break, and it is almost always due to extreme negligence by a careless USPS, UPS or FedEx employee. I cannot control someone running over my package, but rest assure I will resolve the matter if your item is broken or never arrives, and I will NEVER leave a buyer to resolve it alone.

International Buyers:

We only ship outside the United States through eBay’s Global Shipping Program; unless I am contacted prior to your purchase and special arrangements are made. Due to the recent increase in shipping rates; please ask for a shipping quote prior to purchasing.

Happy Bidding!
