International Buyers ? Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
Terms of Sale:
Our terms of sale are simple. We want you to be happy with your purchase. We describe any damage we find, and provide detailed photos for you to examine the piece. If the piece has damage that we have not described or that was not visible in the photos, return the item in the same condition as sent and we will refund your money...bid price and shipping.
We try to write descriptions as we would want them to be written as buyers. We examine items carefully and describe any post-manufacturing flaws, such as chips or cracks. Straw marks or tool marks and bubbles are a common trait of handmade glass. We may describe these also, but don't consider them to be flaws. If you have any questions about an item, please ask.
