eBay's shipping and fees policies have required the addition
of a Shipping & Handling fee -- minimum $1.00. The S&H fees will
include Tracking on all packages, subject to USPS rules.
For all purchases $49.99 and over, all James Avery, and all
breakables, the S&H fee will also include USPS or eBay Sponsored Insurance
fees for the 'Estimated Closing Price'. Current Priority Mail rules give
automatic, free insurance for some Priority Mail packages. If your package
qualifies I will refund any S&H fees I charged for insurance.
Because of "Estimated Closing Price" and the all too
frequent 'wild hair' that is eBay -- eBay's shipping calculator and actual
shipping and handling costs ofttimes vary. I send out invoices thru the eBay
system ASAP (usually within 24 hours) and will correct shipping charges on those
invoices. If you wish to avoid a potential slight overcharge, please wait for my
invoice.
I cannot be responsible for uninsured items once they are
delivered to the Post Office.
Items will generally ship within one day, but at
most, two working days of cleared payment (i.e. a payment received on Thursday
may not ship until Monday). I will email if there is some reason for delay. I do
send email confirmations of shipment.
SHIPPING AND DETAILS -- OVERSEAS
I do not ship anywhere in Africa. Assume that I
will not ship to any country in political turmoil. You can see the list in
the Shipping Details
section.
Buyers outside the USA must have:
» at least 20
feedback ratings with 100% positive for a period that exceeds 3
months.
PayPal
required for overseas transactions.
A minimum $2.00 handling fee is charged on overseas
transactions to cover additional paperwork and packaging costs. This fee will be assessed only once in
the case of multiple purchases.
Overseas Priority and Express Mail have an inherent insurance
based on weight and additional insurance can be purchased. This is also
true for the larger Flat Rate boxes.
First Class Mail International and Priority Mail Small Box
Flat Rate do not include insurance and NO additional insurance can be
purchased.
Responsibility for an uninsured package will transfer to the
buyer at the time I deliver the package to the Post Office.
Customs declarations will be the price you paid.
Items will ship within two working days of cleared payment
(i.e. a payment received on Thursday may not ship until
Monday).
PAYMENT DETAILS
An eBay system invoice will be sent within 24 hours of the
close of sale. Payment is expected within 5 days. Write me if there is a
problem.
Cash or business checks are accepted for local pickup items.
Texas residents must present a valid resale number or pay
8.25% sales tax. Again, just drop me an email and I'll adjust the
invoice.
RETURNS & GUARANTEES
All items guaranteed to be as represented. However, I am an
antique dealer who deals in old, used items. Unless I call it NEW it isn't, and
will probably show signs of age or wear. I will describe anything that I
consider to be more than normal wear.
Returns must be preauthorized
(send me an email or call), otherwise, no refunds will be made.
Returns must be shipped within 3 days of receipt of
authorization with item in original condition. Insurance required if the
original package was insured. Tracking required on all returns.
Any refund issued will be for full purchase price only.
No shipping charges refunded.
I leave feedback after successful completion of the sale. I
determine that the sale has been successfully completed when I receive your
feedback.
AND FINALLY
Seller reserves the right to cancel sale and relist
item if:
1) payment has not been received within 5 days of receipt
of invoice, or
2) overseas buyer is from a country on my exclusion list or
excluded above.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
