GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ALL LOTS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED: 

SHIPPING:

Display cards usually are not included. I use these for photos. Stamps will be shipped in glassines or other display card and protected from bending and moisture during shipment.  Albums are usually shipped via flat rate priority mail boxes. I always bubble wrap albums to protect them.

US BUYERS:

I will combine shipping. Minimum shipping charge for one or more small lots is $2.75 (two ounces or less) which provides tracking for your item.  For multiple lots that will increase the postage, wait for invoice.  I will have tracking on all shipments.  

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

I use Ebay's international shipping center. The shipping charge I have on my site for a given item will cover shipping and tracking to the shipping center. They then figure any additional shipping cost for your destination including import fees, duties, taxes, etc. which are your responsibility.

RETURNS:

Buyer pays return shipping

14 day money back for any single stamp or set not correctly described as long as the stamp or set is returned in the same condition and buyer pays for return shipping. The pictures are part of the description so please observe carefully for perforations, centering, etc.  As a collector of 50 years I am like you. No one likes unexpected surprises so I try very hard to describe all items accurately and any flaws that might be present.  I want you to be happy with your purchase so please contact me if there is a problem. Please check my very positive feedback.  For sets with more than 12 stamps, lots, and collections, I cannot offer refunds because it is very difficult to track all of the individual items. 

ABBREVIATIONS:

I try to describe hinging carefully to help with bidding and will show the reverse on higher value stamps and sets.  My abbreviations are as following:

MNH   Mint never hinged - no evidence of a hinge mark even when held to a light at an angle

MNG  Mint no gum

When stamps have been removed from albums:

MOGH Mint original gum hinged; these stamps could still have the hinge attached (which some collectors prefer not to be removed so they can remount in their album), one or more hinge marks or a  hinge remnant (MHR). Some remnants peel easily but I do not remove them because some collectors like to place a new hinge on the remnant before mounting.  In addition to MOGH, I will try to let you know when there is only a trace of a hinge mark seen when holding the stamp at an angle to the light, or if the stamp is VLH- very lightly hinged or LH- lightly hinged which means a single hinge mark with clean removal.  In general, unless I made a significant error in listing the reverse side, items are not returnable due to hinging.
