Shipping:
I will ship out right away for you first business day. Keep in mind shipping is very expensive these days, Ebay fees are extremely high near 15% and I use either UPS Ground, Fed Ex Ground/Home Delivery or USPS Priority Mail in most cases to assure you get it in a timely manner. There is not a whole lot of profit left after shipping and fees are taken out so keep that in mind on your offers. I ship fast and I package up your item very well and assure it will get their safe and sound. If you want next day or a faster shipping option contact me with your zip code for an estimate as the price I have entered is a guestimate and could be more or less than what I have entered and I will adjust to the actual price before you purchase it.

Returns:

I have zero tolerance for lying have some respect this is all I do for a living and I have 2 kids full time to feed our lives depend on Ebay this is all I do. Honesty is what makes Ebay a great place to do business lets get back to being good people who have morals. I am more likely to help you if you are honest because I have morals and I expect you to as well. There are no returns allowed on international sales (Sales outside of the United States).
