• All Ebay transactions are handled and managed via "Ebay Managed Payments".  What this means is as a Buyer you are making your purchased and ebay collects the payments for the item, takes out their commission, any taxes collections required and pays the balance to the seller.  Ebay Managed Payments is a Buyer to Ebay transaction and then Ebay to Seller Transaction.  Ebay no longer allows payment transactions directly between Buyer and Seller,  Ebay is the middle man.  This simply means as a buyer you can no longer call us to make the payment, ebay handles it all.
• With Ebay Managed Payments there is a level of security and protection for both the Buyer and the Seller.  All a Good Thing!

We try and offer "Free Shipping" on all the products we can, however please remember there is no such thing as "Free Shipping" we are paying for it for you.

We just can't offer "Free Shipping" any longer on items such as Saddles, saddle pads and winter blankets, simply because UPS and Fed Ex have adjusted their Dimensional Weight rates which affects shipments on saddles, saddle pads and winter blankets.  What that means is they are taking length x width x height and dividing by 166 to determine the weight of a package.  So we might have an item that weighs 7 pounds like a saddle pad but UPS and Fed Ex will charge dimensional weight rates which turns a saddle pad in a 31 pound package.  In addition they are charging shippers an additional handling fee, fuel surcharges and residential handling fees, these are cost that are not added to the buyers shipping costs.

Saddles are shipped in their own individual boxes so we can not do a combined shipping on more than one saddle, however we can ship other smaller items that can be put in the box with the saddle.

We use UPS, Fed Ex and USPS for shipping Monday through Friday.

If the listing you are looking at does require a shipping cost, please understand all we can do is key in the weight and package dimensions and the cost of shipping is calculated for us.  We do not charge over and above that. 

Depending on the size of the item and shipping destination we use the service we feel is best for that item.
We try very hard to ship either same day or next day after payment has been received.
Some circumstances will take up to 3 business days. Monday through Friday.
If we have a problem with shipping your item out quickly we will contact you.
Problems do arise occasionally that create a delay in shipment.
Also all tracking details will be loaded on the ebay site attached to the transaction.
If you have special shipping requests, like UPS NDA, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 3 Day Select, Postal Express, ship to a difference address, etc, just please contact us, we will do what we can to help!!! 

Shipping a Western Saddles Example:
Average box size is 28" x 20" x 18" .
Depending on the seat size of the Western Saddle the weight would be approximately 28 pounds.
Dimensional weight would be 28x20x18 divided by 166 = 60 pounds. UPS and Fed Ex change the charges for a 28 pound saddle to 60 pounds because of their dimensional weight rules.
We really notice the shipping rates are much more costly going to Western States.

Shipping a Western Saddle Pad Exampe:
Western Saddle Pads: Average package is 32" x 18" x 4".
Average weight is 6 or 7 pounds. Dimensional weight would be 32 x 18 x 4 divided by 166 = 31 pounds.
UPS and Fed Ex change the charges fro a 7 pound saddle pad to 31 pounds because of dimensional weight rules
Again we notice shipping to the west coast to more costly.

We appreciate our International Customers and are always happy to help you if we can!! We use the Ebay International Shipping  Program for all International Orders.

We as the seller have no control over the cost of shipping internationally.  Ebay collects and controls the international shipping monies collected from a Buyer.  We as the seller never have access to that.

With Ebay International shipping and a maximum box size allowed at 84" we can no longer ship saddles international. 

The Ebay International shipping program affords for quicker delivery and secure transactions for both buyer and seller. 

Please understand that we as sellers have no control over the time in transit it may take to arrive to your door. Once it leaves our possession we are both at the mercy of our postal systems USPS within the US and what ever provider delivers in your country along with foreign customs. We have experienced delays with international packages being delivered due to the packages being held up in those countries customs. We unfortunately have no control over that and we ask you as an International customer to please understand we as a seller have no control over that process in your country.
