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 £5.75, optional upgrade to SPECIAL for faster deliveries - £7.65
Combined Shipping 2 items £6.75, 3-5 items £7.75
International Shipping is via Royal Mail Tracked £20 - 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.
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.
