PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:
  • OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: eBay's estimated delivery dates for International ECONOMY are incorrect. They are working to resolve this (allegedly) but estimates are too short. In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking. If you require tracking, select International Tracked option.
