Handling & Shipping Charge: USA: There are several options from which can be used to ship. Please ask questions if the following information is too convoluted to understand.
Small sized items (that will fit in an envelope with a size less than 6" X 9" X 1/4") with a combined value (multiple auction lots) less than $20, and a total package weight of less than 3 ounces, will be shipped via eBay's "Standard Envelope" option. The charge for this option is $1.25.
Larger sized items and/or combined purchases greater than $20 will be shipped via USPS, with tracking. The charge for this option is $3.25, or more for pages/sheets, and will be shown in the item's auction description.
Buy, pay, and ship $100 or more in one transaction (within a two-week period) and the H&S charge will be waived.
I will combine all lots won within a two-week period and charge only the highest H&S charge of all lots won, paid, and shipped in one transaction. I expect and request payments within a two-week period. Please feel free to accumulate more purchases within that time frame. I generally use eBay shipping labels, with tracking, for proof of shipment/delivery.
Out of country sales: PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE H&S CHARGE AS IT APPLIES TO YOUR DESTINATION BEFORE BIDDING! Foreign countries now have different shipping charges as determined by USPS. THE COMBINED H&S CHARGE WILL BE DETERMINED BY WEIGHT, DESTINATION, PACKAGE SIZE.
I CANNOT AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO SHIP TO DESTINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY THE USPS AND/OR EBAY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING SERVICES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE LIST OF BLOCKED DESTINATIONS SEEMS TO CHANGE FREQUENTLY.
Returns: USA: Large lots with many stamps included are not accepted as returns, as there simply isn't enough time to personally inspect every stamp within large lots/accumulations. Please consider this as you place a bid. I will accept returns for single stamps, single sets, and similarly sized lots, in which I have made an error. The listing will indicate if returns are accepted for that lot. International lots cannot be returned.
Feedback: I will leave feedback once payment is received, and the item(s) has/have been prepared for shipment. This will give you, the buyer, the communication that lets you know the order is on its way and is appreciated. Buyers, would you please return the feedback favor? Please leave feedback and the related ratings to indicate your receipt and acceptance of the order. IFFFFF, for any reason you feel you can't give positive feedback and/or 5 stars on the ratings, would you please give me the chance to make everything right? I am trying to have 100% satisfied customers and will do my best to be fair and do what is right. I will undoubtedly make a mistake along the way and ask for your patience as I try to make things right for you, the buyer.
I've been a member of eBay since 2001; please consider my feedback score and bid/buy with confidence.
PLEASE, PLEASE contact me if there are any errors or mistakes discovered in the listing or after receipt of goods. I am in the process of liquidating a 55-year stamp collection and want to make many, many happy philatelic friends along the way, as I am enjoying retirement also.
