See Ebay Shipping Calculator on the bottom of this listing page for your item. Some of our listings are flat rate so see below.
We're always happy to combine shipping into one package with actual USPS shipping and modest a handling fee. Contact us for this service.
We are also located on the East Coast, so please consider this may be why your shipping is higher than what you may have expected. This is the perfect example of when a flat rate box is preferable. Seller's cannot produce listings that give both calculator and flat rate options based upon zip code.
SHIPPING METHODS COMMONLY USED
We normally use USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, 1st Class (13 oz. and under) and Express Mail. We never use UPS.
All USPS shipping within the contiguous USA states runs from 3-10 business days unless your package is lost or stolen. We strongly urge that you get insurance since we will not be responsible for lost OR stolen packages. Insurance is $1.65 for $50 value. (see www.USPS.com for rates.)
HANDLING FEE
The average handling fee we charge is $2.
Generally, handling is:
$1-2 for clothing,
$2-3 for breakables such as glass and pottery
$4-5 for large packages with lots of pieces.
Special Art: Depending on size and special handling (see listing description).
PACKAGING
Our packaging conforms with the recommendations of the GPSA for glass and pottery. We take special care to make sure you receive your item in the same condition it was in when you purchased it. Also see policy & instructions like above for more information on packaging and shipping.
SMOKE & PET FREE
Since we deal in antiques and collectibles that mostly come from other people's estates, we DO NOT GUARANTEE smoke and pet free product unless we absolutely know this to be true and it is stated as Smoke and/or Pet free in the item description above. We are older people and our smeller is not what it use to be.
Check the bottom of this listing page for return policies that apply to this listing.
We generally have a 7 day return policy (less your return shipping fee). If there is no return policy listed there, the items are sold "as is".
All tags must be returned intact. Do not wash items if you want to return them. We can identify our merchandise and will not tolerate "bait and switchers". If we even suspect a "bait and switch", we reserve the right to not refund regardless of the listed policy.
Our Store About Me MyWorld Our Blog Feedback
We're just retired people who haved loved and collected for a lot of years. We're at that age now where we need to weed out the dust bunnies and make more room. We want our customers to know who we are. Check out our links to see who you are doing business with. We're accessible. We've had the same listed phone number for over 40 years. We and our descendants have been in the same home since 1901.
We still have much inventory left over from our bricks and mortar store that we closed in the 1990s. We've been selling it for a couple of years now and haven't even made a dent.
If you want some great bargains, bookmark us or better yet, put us on your Favorite Seller's List, so you can receive emails when we list new items. If you're looking for something in particular, give us a jingle, perhaps we just haven't listed it yet.
