The Fine Print:
We strive for accuracy in our descriptions and encourage our bidders to ask questions or share information.
For most items, we accept returns with prior notice within 14 days of receipt. The item must be returned in the same condition as shipped. In the event that we will not accept a return, it will be reflected in that particular auction.
We pack carefully using appropriate protective materials. We are, of course, happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.
Our default shipping is by USPS Media Mail for most of our items or by USPS Retail Ground for non-book offerings. We are happy, and would prefer, to ship by USPS Priority and include that option in the Ebay Shipping calculator.
We are happy to ship internationally but at this time, due to irregularities within the USPS, we will only do so via eBay's Global Shipping program.
We do not falsify customs declarations, please don't ask.
