●●●VERY IMPORTANT ●●● Please note that the USPS does not offer economy shipping for close destinations unless the item is dangerous and must travel by ground. Otherwise, Priority will be the best service offered. Considering that some buyers are across the country, I am listing Ground Advantage first due to the weight of the packed carton. I will need to change the invoice to ●●●Priority●●● if you are in or not far from NYS. Please note that the USPS shipping services offered include insurance up to $100. Sometimes the shipping costs are similar for more distant zip codes in which case I always choose Priority which is faster. SO PLEASE WAIT TO PAY! Priority is always correct from NY to IL for the eBay International Shipping Program.
●●●VERY IMPORTANT●●● Please note that if you are browsing my items on a Mobile Device it is possible that all my photos and all the pertinent information may not show up. I believe there should be a ●●●Read More Button.●●●

The assembled weight is just about 4 pounds 14 oz. The completed carton will ship USPS insured at the 6 pound rate Ground Advantage or Priority.
It is IMPERATIVE not to send a payment before I determine if the shipment will be sent Ground Advantage or Priority which will depend on your ●●●location.●●● Please be sure to WAIT for my contact in order to avoid an error. eBay will prompt you to pay right away but if you are a Domestic Buyer you can wait.
THE CONDITION:
Overall excellent pre-enjoyed. On a scale of 1-10 I am comfortable rating this 20 year old party set with a score of 9.5. ●●●Please allow the photos to guide you as they are the lion’s share of this description.●●● This is what I see to describe: there are some extremely light scratches here and there mainly where the bowl sits; there is light overall crazing that in my opinion adds to the age authenticity and lastly there is a small amount of table friction on the unglazed base edge. ●●●I hope I have not missed anything. If I did, it was surely very minor and 100% unintentional.●●● Just about 99% of the collectibles I offer are vintage/pre-owned and may show a small amount of use. I never list items with serious damage or flaws. I often heighten the contrast in my pictures to bring out all the details. The color you see may be slightly brighter or different than it actually is. Please inquire if you are concerned.
●●●●● By bidding you are stating that you have viewed the photos very carefully and thoroughly read my condition paragraph. This Chip & Dip Set is presented as found and as described to the ●●●best of my ability.●●●
I will accept a return of this Chip & Dip Set and will certainly refund your money if there was gross negligence in my descriptions or photos. ●●●Buyer’s Remorse is against eBay’s policies and is very unfair to me so please be sure you want to own or gift this English Tole Tray.●●● Contact must be made within 36 hrs of the day your item arrives. The item must be ●●●perfectly packed●●● [as I prepared it] and returned in the ●●●exact same condition●●● as it was when I sent it. Please note that if your item arrives damaged due to mishandling by the postal workers the included shipping insurance will reimburse you for your purchase. Be sure to save the carton and all the packing materials. This is ●●●required●●● in order to file a claim with the USPS.
●●●Important●●●I have not successfully completed a sale unless my buyer is happy and satisfied. It is imperative to contact me with any concerns once you receive your shipment. If there is a problem, please ●●●do not open a case●●● before contacting me. I always promise to do my best to fix whatever may have gone wrong with our transaction. Please ●●●do not post negative feedback●●● before giving me a chance to resolve any ●●●unlikely problems.●●●
SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Insurance and tracking are included in the shipping cost to any domestic destination including the State of Illinois for transfer by the ●●●eBay International Shipping Program.●●● There is no handling fee. A confirmed address is required. Payment should be received within 4 days of the auction's end date.
●●●VERY IMPORTANT●●● Due to internet tax laws, eBay calculates, collects and remits sales tax on behalf of sellers for items shipped to customers in the following states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NV, OH, OK, PA, PR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI & WY. Additional states will be added to this list as required.
Please understand that when I use the shipping calculator it is for your convenience so you can approximate how much you will be adding to your bid. It is just an estimate determined by weighing a partially packed item. It makes no sense for me to complete a box not knowing if the item will actually be sold. Most of the time the amount is correct but occasionally, after securely packing the item, the weight brings the shipping charge to the next pound cut-off point. Sometimes the box weighs less than anticipated! In order to prevent an error it is important to wait for my contact letter and invoice.
The continually rising postal rates have created a difficult situation for sellers. I have no control over the price of shipping. If your zip code is far from my location please check the cost before bidding. Please note that I ship very promptly but sometimes the mail service is not as fast as anticipated. If you are the winner please take this into consideration when using the 5 star rating system. Thanks……ppaacckkrraatt
An important note to my valued bidders: Please be advised that clicking a ●●●score of 4●●● is unsatisfactory according to eBay's seller standards and is considered a negative, so a ●●●rating of 5●●● across the board is what I always strive to achieve. After you have received and examined your item, if you feel I have not earned a 5 star rating in any of the categories, please contact me immediately through the "Contact Seller" tab and allow me to correct anything you think is ●●●less than promised.●●●
Non-domestic bidders: please be aware that you are fully responsible for any and all import duties, tariffs and taxes imposed by your country. Import duties, taxes and fees are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
eBayers, please read: I am always ready and able to provide attentive communication in order to insure a smooth and pleasant transaction. I work very hard to maintain ●●●100% positive feedback●●● and receive ●●●perfect 5* DSR ratings.●●●
Feedback is a key indicator of a buyer's or seller's reputation and is very important to exchange. Positive feedback tells me that your shipment arrived safely and that you are a happy buyer. In the unlikely event that there is a problem with your shipment please notify me immediately and give me the opportunity to resolve any issues you may have. As always, ●●●thanking you●●● kindly for your eBay business.
IMPORTANT! If you are the winner of my auction(s) or have asked a question and I have not contacted you please note that my computer is on the Cable System Internet which goes down occasionally, especially during icy weather or thunder storms. Sometimes we totally lose electricity which can take the technicians many hours to repair. In addition, my mac could get a..........headache and need to go to the apple hospital! I currently do not have any additional internet connecting devices. Please be patient! If this happens I will be back online ASAP.
