SHIPPING: We ship ground to the 48 continuous continental United States by USPS Priority mail and UPS ground as they both provide tracking numbers as proof of shipping required by credit card issuers. The shipping calculator is sometimes off for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and some others as they use a different formula as dimensional weight instead of actual weight. These are subject to be corrected if found incorrectly formulating. We only use UPS and USPS Priority shipping services for ground shipping at this time as they provide tracking numbers as proof of shipping as required by credit card issuers. We also offer combined shipping whenever possible as items can be combined and shipped together. Combined shipping can save substantial money especially on the smaller type items only when shipped and packaged at the same time. When using combined shipping do not pay until you have bought all your items. We cannot combine shipping on multiple paid separate orders after they are processed. USPS also has flat rate Priority shipping to within the US Domestic for a flat fee regardless of weight as long as it can be properly packaged within there box sizes without bulging and has proper cushioning. The shipping calculator cannot identify when multiple items that can ship in flat rate boxes, please allow us to send a revised invoice before check out. Insurance is always recommended and once the item is shipped we cannot be held liable for loss or damaged shipments without it. Proof of all orders are provided with tracking numbers and that is why we will not use media or standard first class mail without a shipping confirmation or signature required. We reserve the right to use or to change a shipping service when it is deemed fit or appropriate to use at our discretion.

TRUCK FREIGHT: We ship truck freight only to the continuous continental United States Only. No other areas at all. We usually have a separate freight policy regarding Freight items that is usually seperately stated.

CANADA/ INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: This is something we will ship USPS or UPS.  Note that Canadian/ International orders may have a separate tax and brokerage fees that can be as much as the shipping cost of the item. These are separate charges that are controlled threw Canadian/International customs and the shipping service providers. These charges are not included in the shipping and handling. These fees are to be paid directly to them. We have no way to know what these fees are. This is your country and it is your own responsibility to know or find out prior to purchasing an item. Usually USPS is now the most preferred means of shipping from what most Canadians have told us as most of the time these fees are not applied.

DELIVERY: We ship most orders the same day whenever possible during normal business hours except weekends and holidays but we sometimes can take 48 hours during busy times, USPS picks up when we open early so those orders will usually ship the next day. We are on the East Coast, so orders lets say to the West Coast may take up to 6- 7 business days not including weekends or holidays. We send UPS and USPS Priority shipping confirmations when orders are shipped including  tracking number. Make sure you check your Spam blocker or junk email box if you do not receive it as that is sometimes where they can be found if not received. We do not send unsolicited emails. Remember, we cannot be held liable for uninsured orders once they have left here. The carrier unless provided will not pay for lost or damaged items without it.

FEES AND SALES TAX: We include a small charge in the shipping and handling to cover the increasing costs of packaging materials including boxes, packing wrap, bubble wrap, packing tapes, packing slips, and other associated shipping supplies, as well as labor cost which is always a non profiting. On difficult shipping items that are not boxed or easily to package we may also include extra charges for shipping tubes or extra labor associated in the cost of preparing an item. These fees will either be included in the shipping and handling or will be noted in the auction listing as an extra expense but never hidden. We are required by law to collect sales taxes in Rhode Island 7%, Connecticut 6%, and Massachusetts 5%.

Returns & Refunds: There are a lot of items we do not offer returns on as they are all considered an as is non returnable items. The reason maybe that they are close outs, auction bought, consignment, or we may not have the means to return to the manufacture. Other items may be discontinued or one of a kind and cannot be replaced. Or something we just want to remove from inventory and no longer carry. Some items we may also have no means to test, inspect or try out an item.  All items have no warranty or guarantee unless stated. Some items may have a return if only stated in our listing ad are the only returns accepted. In rare cases if we overlook a problem and represented as something totally differently we will try our best to resolve or correct it when ever possible. Return items that are accepted in our opinion must be returned in the original packages and original condition and will be refunded purchased price minus all shipping charges unless we find we grossly made an error of shipping wrong item or greatly misrepresented the item as something remotely different that its intention, in those cases we will give a full refund including shipping costs..
