Shipping

We combine shipping when possible but since we sell so many different items with so many different shipment options there is no single profile that can work for everything. Also, and this is very important, in order to maintain our status we must ship within one day. If you want us to combine shipping on auction items DO NOT PAY FOR ITEMS YOU HAVE WON UNTIL YOU ARE DONE WITH ALL BIDDING. Then send us a note when you are finished bidding and we will send you an invoice with the proper shipping amount. We can no longer hold orders once they are paid. Once paid for they will be shipped within one day. For non auction items we combine shipping in the most economical fashion possible. Any excess you have paid for shipping will be refunded. Thanks for cooperating with our policy.

We have found that because of the high weight of ironwood the best option for shipping is nearly always USPS priority mail flat rate whether the shipment is domestic or international. For small items that we have listed as first class mail, those can be combined into flat rate boxes for a savings. Small flat rates can sometimes be consolidated into medium flat rate boxes. Medium flat rate boxes usually do not combine, they are already the best shipping option. Sometimes FEDEX is the best option but generally only when we are shipping to the west coast and the box is heavier than medium flat rate. Usually people buy all they want and we refund the extra amount they have paid for shipping. If you aren't comfortable doing that we understand and you can write to us asking that we make a listing for exactly the items you are interested in and we will make a special listing and send the link to you. 

Terms of Sale

Desert Ironwood ? Olneya Tesota
 
All international orders are shipped at full purchase value. We cannot and will not lower the value to avoid taxes. We are aware that tax rates can be high in some countries but we can?t afford to run the risk. Please don?t ask.

Ironwood tends to have flaws and unfortunately the more beautiful the wood the more likely it will have flaws. We try to indicate when we see a flaw but sometimes one slips through the cracks, pun intended. Let us know if any flaws are severe and we will refund the purchase price.

About Us

We have been selling desert ironwood (olneya tesota) on E-Bay since 2012 and have steadily built the business over the years. We started out selling just figurines but soon moved into raw wood for carvers, knife, and pen makers. We are always expanding out product line as we can. We pride ourselves on our attention to the quality of the wood we sell, our quick and safe shipping, and our quick response to any questions our clients may have. We ship worldwide with the exception of a few countries because of problems with customs officials. Our number one priority is customer satisfaction.

Please feel free to write us anytime for special requests, combined shipping rates, or any other questions you may have.
