I ship all items by USPS unless otherwise requested or specified in this listing.  Books, records, tapes and CDs ship at Media Rate.  All other items are shipped by either First Class Package or Standard Parcel rate unless otherwise noted.  Priority shipping, insurance and other shipping options are available on all items so contact me if interested.   I also ship by UPS Ground, especially heavier items.  Ask for pricing.

Buyer will pay S&H which includes a "Delivery Confirmation" tracking number.  If insurance is requested (highly recommended in case of damage or loss in transit), it will be added to your S&H charge.  Insurance will be mandatory on higher dollar items.

Best Offers Considered:  If this item is listed at a fixed price, I will consider Best Offers on most items, whether or not a "Make Offer" option is showing or is functional.  If you would like to make a lower offer, you may still contact me to negotiate.

SAVE ON COMBINED SHIPPING!  I gladly combine shipping.  If there is even the slightest chance you might be interested in this item, be sure to visit other items I currently have up for sale but be sure to contact me before paying so combined weights and sizes can be determined.

International Buyers:  Please check with your country's customs office regarding the import of the item(s) you wish to buy prior to purchase.  The Customs Declaration for your item will be for the amount of your winning bid or "Buy It Now" price and the listed S&H charge will not include any customs-mandated extra charges.  As the buyer, you are solely responsible for any import restrictions, prohibited import items, taxes, tariffs, fees and other duties.

All Buyers:  Payment is requested within 3 days of the end of a sale.  After 3 days, if not yet paid, you will receive a second invoice, a friendly reminder, marked "SECOND NOTICE".  If payment is still not received after another 3 days, a less friendly eBay Resolution case will be opened.  If you have extenuating circumstances, please let me know - I'm easy.

For payments made quickly after a sale ends, I try to ship the same or next day.  For slower payments, expect 3-5 work day shipping.

Local Pickup:  Local pickup is available for most items.  Local pickup customers will pay the listed price plus only a small handling charge to cover my fees.  Shipping charges will be waived.  DO NOT PRE-PAY IF YOU INTEND TO ARRANGE LOCAL PICKUP!  Some fees are non-refundable so you will NOT be getting a full refund.

If your item was not received:  If you claim the item never arrived but there is proof that it was shipped and scanned into the USPS (or other) system, I'm sorry but your beef is with the delivery service, not me.  I will assist you in finding the item in any way I can.  Delivery estimates are becoming increasingly undependable so please be patient.  You might also make a note to yourself to request insurance next time.

A Note About Returns:  Unfortunately, mistakes happen.  I am happy to accept returns and refund payments but, for everyone's protection and for the integrity of the system, there have to be rules.

If there is something wrong, let me know quickly and we can quickly remedy the problem.  Notify me WITHIN 7 DAYS of delivery to be eligible for full refunds.  If you don't notify me of the problem within the required 7 days, your REFUND WILL BE REDUCED by 25% for each new 7 days that pass.  If you don't notify me of the problem after 28 days, sorry, there will be no refund.

If your item arrives damaged:

If your shipping was insured, please contact the delivery service first.  I’ll be of any assistance I can but they should be able to handle your complaint.

If you have not chosen to insure your item, immediately send me photos of the damage and all identifying characteristics of the item, especially serial numbers, if available.  Please include photos of the original packaging.  If it is in fact the same item and damage is evident, you may be eligible for refund.

Returns are shipped at the buyer’s risk.  I can’t take responsibility for items lost or damaged in return transit.

Please note that my Positive Feedback Rating is 100% and I intend to do everything I can to keep it that way.  That means I want to be a conscientious seller and for you to be a happy buyer.  Please contact me if you have any questions about the item, the shipping or other concerns and I'll try to help in any way I can.

(And needless to say, if there is ANY problem after the sale, PLEASE contact me before leaving any nasty feedback.  I'm sure we can work it out amicably.)

Thanks for looking.
