-All items come from a smoke-free (but not pet-free)
environment
- Photographs: Our amateur snapshot digital photography is as accurate
as possible. However,
the colors displayed on your computer screen may appear different from actual
materials. Digital flash photography tends to wash-out some details or
make colors appear more brighter or lighter than they are in real life.
-Sorry, but all sales are FINAL.
We are unable to accept returns or
exchanges for buyer's remorse or size errors, so please plan your purchases
accordingly and ask any questions prior to purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, items
will come either in their original packaging and/or wrapped in plastic to
protect them in transit.
We will do our best to get back to
you within 48 hours of your question(s).
(This may
not always be possible, but we will certainly TRY to get back to you as soon
as we can).

PAYPAL ONLY
(per eBay’s new policies)
You have 7 days to pay (and
combine shipping) from the purchase of your first item.
(We will, however, send an email
to you reminding you of payment on the 4th day if it hasn’t been
received by then). If you need to make
payment arrangements—please let us know BEFORE you buy!
Non paying buyers will have an
Unpaid Item Report (UPI) filed against them with eBay, and
WILL BE BLOCKED FROM ANY
FUTURE TRANSACTION as soon as the UPI is filed.
If you don’t intend to pay—
Do NOT buy!
*PLEASE NOTE—IF YOU PAY WITH AN
E-CHECK, We will NOT ship until we receive notification that
the e-check has cleared. Handling time
will still apply when the e-check has cleared.
Please plan accordingly.

|
Shipping is primarily based on the
total weight of your package and the distance it must travel.
Sorry, but we cannot easily give combined
shipping estimates because of this.
We ship to whatever address is
listed on the PAYMENT.
Sorry, no exceptions! Please make sure that your address on your
payment is correct!
USPS Delivery
Confirmation.
Every package that we ship via USPS includes Delivery
Confirmation of some sort. UPS comes
automatically with a tracking number. Once we have the label printed, you will receive an email with the delivery confirmation number.
Handling time:
We aim to ship within 3 days or less after
receiving CLEARED payment
(most times less—but things do
come up.
After all, we do have a
life outside of eBay!)
Please note—any payment received
after 2:00pm central time will have to be considered paid on the next day for
shipping and processing reasons.
(eg: if you pay Monday at 3:30pm, you will need
to follow the Tuesday shipping schedule below)
Central time is 2 hours ahead of
eBay’s time.
We take ALL packages to either UPS
or USPS Offices—
We do not request pick ups from a
carrier.
We cannot ship on days that the
Post Office is closed
(Sundays and Major US
Holidays)
We DO NOT negotiate on shipping
rates, and shipping is not refundable.
We GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING
whenever possible.
However, some orders may not be able to have shipping combined.
If you have a date
you HAVE to have your item(s) by—please let us know ASAP so that we can try
to get your items out quicker. Please
note that a rush charge may apply to try to get a shipment out the same day.

Shipping Insurance Rates. It is very easy and affordable to
add insurance to protect your shipment in the event of loss or damage.
|
|
US Shipping:
Calculated by total package
weight and distance to be traveled.
Either First Class and/or Priority
mail.
According to USPS:
First class mail has an average
delivery time of 2 – 7 days;
Priority mail has an average
delivery time of 1 – 3 days.
Not all items have both options
available. Why?--Some items are too
heavy to ship via First Class mail and are reflected by ONLY having Priority
mail available.
All articles are sent with
delivery confirmation.
ALL METHODS OF UPS SHIPPING ARE OFFERED UPON REQUEST
(please provide your zip code when inquiring about UPS)
|
|
International Shipping:
We offer USPS First Class mail
international, Priority mail international, and Express Mail international.
FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONAL IS ONLY
SHIPPED ONCE A WEEK. Priority and EMS follows the US domestic
shipping schedule above.
Priority mail/EMS international is
faster than regular airmail and is actually TRACKABLE. However, First class mail is cheaper than
Priority and EMS mail.
Please
note that First Class Mail international DOES have a maximum weight
limit. If your purchase exceeds that weight limit--you will have to
pay for Priority mail or EMS mail.
We are not responsible for any
taxes, fees, tariffs, etc that may be incurred by shipping items to you.
Those are YOUR responsibility.
We will NOT mark a customs form as
a “gift”.
(This is illegal and so we won’t do it no matter
how much you ask/beg/plead.)

Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh,
Barbados, Benin, Bolivia, Brazil,
Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burma/Myanmar, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad,
