Everything I sell is new and fresh off the shelf unless otherwise stated! I am a retailer, not an attic cleaner outer.
eBay Checkout
I accept PayPal, money orders, and cashier's checks. Regardless of payment method, please use the eBay check out system by clicking the Pay Now button upon winning any auction. This system works for any payment method, including Money Orders. Payment MUST! be received within 7 days of auction closing.
ABSOLUTELY NO PERSONAL CHECKS. NO EXCEPTIONS. They will be destroyed and I will file a Non-Paying Bidder Alert with eBay.
Communications
You will receive an email with your tracking number on the day your order ships, or if I have questions about your order. If you use a spam blocker, make sure that mother-turistas.com is on your approved list. I get very testy if I get returned mail and then you email and ask me if your order has shipped.
Shipping Charges
Please use the postage calculator to check on total for your zip code. Click on the link just below the shipping charge for one item, or scroll to the bottom of the page.
USPS is my preferred method except for very heavy items. Cost is calculated by weight and distance. The charge added to your invoice is USPS actual plus a very small materials fee.
Combined Shipping
ALWAYS ask for a combined invoice on multiple items. NEVER trust the eBay shipping calculator. It overcharges in a big way!
Shipping Time
We do our very best to ship within 1-2 days of payment cleared. If you are in a rush, give us your deadline as a date. If you instruct us to ship "ASAP", it just goes into the normal queue and gets no special handling.
Tracking
Tracking is always supplied free of charge.
