Please do not pay until you receive your invoice. If you pay for multiple items prior to invoice I cannot combine shipping.  New York residents must pay New York State Sales Tax...No Exceptions. 

NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS ONLY PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE APPROPIATE SALES TAX-OR PROVIDE A VALID NYS RESALE CERTIFICATE.

PROMPT PAYMENT is appreciated at auction closing. You must be PAYPAL VERIFIED and/or have a confirmed address. I cannot send to unconfirmed addresses. This is to avoid identity and credit card thefts.

I accept PAYPAL only, as a method of payment.

Thanks in Advance for Your prompt payment and I truly value Your Business!

I ship USPS Priority Mail and Parcel Post. Your package arrives in 2-3 days Priority and there is less chance of damage with less handling.  Although Parcel Post is less expensive, I have experienced delays in deliveries for up to two weeks in some areas and I cannot be responsible for their delivery time.

I want to INSURE your products reach you safely and in perfect shape. I ship when payment is received (Paypal and Postal Money Orders) and when checks clear. I pride myself on good packing and speedy shipment to you. If you need something mailed quickly, please let me know and I will do my best. All part of my friendly service.

Insurance - l have added insurance as optional on most of my items. On very fragile items insurance is mandatory. It protects me and you when you insure an item.  Shipments are packed as carefully as I can, but if damaged in mail without insurance, you accept the risk.

Combined Shipping - I am always glad to combine shipping on auctions Within the Same Week. Do please feel free to contact me if you have won multiple auctions. Combined shipping will be made within reason. Due to size, odd shapes of items and differences in weights, I fit what I can in one box and I reserve the right to pack items in separate shipments if I feel one item may damage another.

I have describe all items to the best of my knowledge. All items are sold as is, as I have no return policy at this time.  I have this policy because it is too costly for customers to pay return postage and insurance, since they have already paid for delivery and I would have to add a restocking fee. Please ask questions and know what you are bidding on.

Winning Auctions - Please make Contact within 3 days after winning auction and supply me with your address. This allows me to process your item right away. I try to include a shipping calculator in all of my auctions as soon as possible.

Many invoices and mailing notifications are returned as undeliverable, due to spam controls, please check your spam folder for notifications.

Feedback

Please leave feedback when YOUR item is received and this lets me know you have received your product.  Be sure to rate my auctions with the star ratings. This allows me to continue to bring great auctions and shipping at the best prices I can find. I leave feedback once a week as I have to run a retail store as well.  Please feel free to put us on your favorites list as we have new spring stock coming in daily.
