A stranded starship, on a Planetoid lost in the immensity of Space, conceals its dead Pilot, and something alive and awaiting, inside of it. One of the key elements of Ridley Scott’s Alien, the former creature was conceived as part of an unknown alien race, which either came in contact with the Alien, or even engineered it for mysterious purposes — something ultimately left ambiguous in the film itself. This character was given various nicknames: labeled as simply ‘Pilot’, ‘StarPilot, ‘Starrider’, or, humoristically, ‘Dental Patient’ (by Aliens director James Cameron); the name it is most commonly known as, however, is ‘Space Jockey’ — a designation inspired by Robert Heinlein’s eponymous novel. Hans Ruedi Giger, the designer of the creature, used it to refer to the Nostromo crew, and it was first used for the dead Pilot in one of the script drafts written by David Giler and Walter Hill, who also changed the alien entity into a human skeleton. Its nature in the final film was eventually reverted to that of an incomprehensible “alien lifeform”, closely to how O’Bannon envisioned it in his 1976 draft for Alien — where the introduction to the Pilot plays out very similarly to the final film. “Suddenly, Melkonis lets out a grunt of shock,” the script reads. “Their lights have illuminated something unspeakably grotesque: A HUGE ALIEN SKELETON, SEATED IN THE CONTROL CHAIR. They approach the skeleton, their lights trained on it. IT IS A GROTESQUE THING, BEARING NO RESEMBLANCE TO THE HUMAN FORM. [Sic

GENUINE Zippo lighters only:

ALL my Zippo lighters are 100% GENUINE - this means I do not sell fakes. This is impossible as I get mine direct from Zippo Manufacturing Company, because they are straight from source, this means I can be 100% certain of their authenticity!

Shipping/Postage Information:

Domestic UK shipping is FREE, optional upgrade to SPECIAL for faster deliveries - £7.65

International Shipping is via Royal Mail Tracked - Some countries only do Royal Mail Signed, eBay requires a trackable service, please do not ask for a non tracked service.

Customs - please contact for specific requests on declared values, as a standard, package prices are declared LOW VALUE to speed the transition through customs. 
I fill out a UK required CN22 customs label for every International sale, this is attached to the outside of the package, if ebay has collected a VAT fee, the label will have this information on it. If it arrives in your countries customs and they charge you a VAT fee, this is an issue for your customs to rectify. If your customs only accepts electronic reporting, this is only possible for me to do by upgrading your shipping to a courier like FED EX, for a standard Zippo, this will be around £55 plus, too expensive, but it's upto you to ask for this method and for me to adjust your invoice.

Packaging:

Zippo lighters are ALWAYS sent very nicely packaged in a brown tough cardboard box, for standard size Zippos, this package will be able to fit through your letterbox. Zippos are always sent NEW & containing NO FUEL.

Returns:

I do accept returns, if the item is not liked, no longer required, not as expected etc, please contact prior to starting the process to return. Returns are only accepted if the Zippo is in original condition and not used. The return address is on the label, you can use the box it was sent in also.

Missing item / Slow to arrive:

UK postage I use Tracked 24, this is usually within 2-3 days from purchase, except weekends.
INTERNATIONAL shipping is some form of Royal Mail Tracked, this is usually 10-14 days, however please be aware that the item could be delayed in customs, or diverted for package inspection (checking no fuel contained etc) - so delays can happen.
Missing item - Sadly from time to time a package will go missing at various points in the transit process. DO NOT worry, items are fully insured against loss, if it is not your fault you will be refunded or offered a replacement. 

Discounts - Price of my items:

I am not always the cheapest listed price on the internet, I try to be very competitive and good value for money & pride myself on service offered. Please bare in mind my various costs when I calculate my prices, some of these include - item cost price, import shipping cost /customs fees, postage price, packing materials used, ebay fees, UK taxes & loss cover. I use a spreadsheet which calculates an approximate £6 profit per item. That said, for multiple purchases of Zippos that could be sent in the same package, I could offer a small discount. Feel free to try asking. Please no stupid requests to knock £15 off a £45 Zippo, this would mean me selling it at a £9 loss.

Birthdays / Gift wrapping service:

Buying this gift for a friend or loved one? Left it a little late? NO problem, feel free to message me before I send the item and I can give your Zippo purchase some extra love! I am happy to wrap it up FREE OF CHARGE, just let me know whether for a lady, man etc, I can select suitable wrapping from a number of options I have.

Why the strange pricing? - Please support your LOCAL POST OFFICES - Use them or LOSE THEM

Some customers have asked me why my items are priced say £53.40? when you see an item ending with the 40pence, there is a reason for this. I support my LOCAL POST OFFICE. They work hard and are not adequately compensated by Royal Mail for their efforts.
Did you know that for every signed for or special delivery they process, they literally get LOW pennies for accepting, processing etc. Even worse, using bookable services cuts them out completely. For every item I sell, my local post office lets me avoid the ques and drop them off to them. I give them the 40pence for each package.

Questions:

Anything else you would like to know? Feel free to message me via ebay messages, I love to talk about Zippo lighters or if you are unsure about anything or have any special requests.
