If you have a problem with getting payment to me on time, please email me and I will work with you.
Buyer will pay shipping by USPS mail, using the fastest or best price delivery for you.
In my experience the USPS is the best, cheapest, fastest, most reliable delivery available so its my method of usage.
Please note the shipping & handling charge includes postage, the cost of the bubble mailer or box, the delivery confirmation number and costs associated with the shipping process (such as tape or additional packing materials).
Insurance may be required for items costing more, and will be reflected in the shipping price (this is for your benefit).
Any Tracking numbers will be emailed to you.
We will ship, once payment is confirmed.
All items will be shipped during regular business days within 1-3 business days of receipt of funds.
We do not ship on Saturdays or holidays.
Shipping will be to all the 50 United States and Puerto Rico only, unless additional shipping cost is added.
Alaska & Hawaii residents must include an additional $8.00 for shipping (and an additional $6.00 to Canada) based on the shipping method stated, because of the longer shipping distance involved.
International Shipping is un-available at this time.
Local pickup is not available.
Should your item not arrive within 10 days after payment, please contact us. However, please check with other members of your household who have access your mailbox, to make sure that they haven't taken the item in.
If there is a problem, please act like an adult when you e-mail me. We understand that it is frustrating when an unexpected problem arises, such as postal delays if it occurs. But acting rude and condescending will not solve the problem. We are extremely friendly, laid back people. However, we do not tolerate someone who acts like a child. We have had the pleasure to work with many great eBayers, and have only had a few "bad apples". When you read our feedback, you will see the many happy customers who have worked with us.
Please note - that we have the right to cancel bids and/or block buyers from bidding on my auctions (however, it will be extremely rare that we cancel a bid).
I guarantee & stand behind my items 100%, that you will receive the item that you have won and that it is the condition as described. If there is a policy that you don't agree with, or you think the price or shipping is too high, do not bid on this item.
Combined Shipping: We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased. We discount shipping when purchasing more than one item. Combined postage items to be shipped (for discount) must be purchased at same time: [Stated S&H price] for 1st main item and $2.00 for each additional similar size (or smaller) item to ship inside USA only. In order to receive combined invoice for multiple purchases, please purchase items and let me know when you are done shopping, so we can send you one combined invoice.
Due to weight restrictions, First-class is NOT AVAILABLE for combined shipping, unless the items total is under 13 oz - postal regulations cap at 13 oz.
Winning bidder should contact me within 3 days of item closing with contact information to arrange payment, or proceed to check out after each auction as soon as possible.
Item must be paid within 5 days of item closing.
By placing a bid you acknowledge acceptance of these terms.
Bidding: Buyers with little or no feedback are welcome to purchase this item. However, please make sure that you understand eBays or our policies, along with the policies we list below.
Please purchase this only if you are serious about buying the item, and can pay for the item in a timely manner and by PayPal or Auctiva.
Make sure that you read the item description and policies.
If the policies or the condition of the item is not what you want, please do not bid.
Please note that we only accept PayPal or Auctiva for payment.
Contact me for any questions on this policy, to see if we can further help you.
Ask questions before bidding!
Your Order: Please make sure you get your order! If the ship to address in PayPal, Auctiva, etc. is not entered correctly, your package may be returned as undeliverable. You would then have to place a new order. Save time and avoid frustration by entering the address information in the appropriate boxes and double-checking for typos and other errors. Ensure PayPal or the check-out used, is updated with the current and proper shipping address to reduce costs.
Insurance (optional but recommended): You (the Buyer) deserve a confidence on your won auction item arriving to you in the described manner it was advertised at. We will do our upmost to get your item to you as described exactly, and as quickly to you as possible. If you desire optional Shipping Insurance, please let us know this at Check-Out by adding $2.00 to the final total due, and indicate it to us in your Note section. Any Insurance claims from the shipping effort will be taken up by us (as the shipper) with the USPS shipping company. We will go to bat for you to resolve any problems or issues, as this is our job. Unlike the other eBay sellers who put this on the buyer, its really unfair to do so.
Return Policy: Customer satisfaction is my #1 priority. We gladly accept returns if your item was not described as such or misrepresented. We accept returns, on a limited basis only. The returned item must be received back to me in the opened box with all original materials, with absolutely no damage or missing things from the item originally listed.
Insurance must be purchased by you (the buyer) on the return, in order to be eligible for a return, due to any possible issues with your item, should it differ from its original listing.
Buyers must return the item using trackable shipping with delivery confirmation, or risk not qualifying for a refund if the item is lost in transit. If tracking or delivery confirmation is not provided by the buyer returning the item, and the item does not appear in a reasonable amount of time, then we are not obligated to refund the buyer.
Upon receipt of the returned item, you will be refunded the bid price that you had paid. Please note that the shipping and handling charge, as well as the cost of return shipping, will NOT be refunded. We respect sellers' return policies, and buyer remorse is not an acceptable justification for an item not as described claim. Please note, we stand behind our items and have many satisfied customers.
Buyer must contact us to initiate a return within 3 days of receiving the item. We will acknowledge your email to confirm. You have 3 business days after confirmation that a refund will be granted, to ship the item back to me.
A restocking fee of 20% will be applied to any qualified return item.
Feed-Back Policy: We will leave positive feedback within 1 week, of receiving any expected payment. A positive feed-back is expected to the seller. We STRIVE FOR FIVE STAR PERFORMANCES! If you have any questions or issues we can solve before the auction is closed (email us) - please ask them before the auction ends if you can.
DO NOT LEAVE FEEDBACK UNLESS YOU CAN LEAVE 5 STARS! Giving and receiving 5-star (not 4-star) feedback is VITAL to our business (us) and to my customers (you). When you give me 4 stars, it may seem like a great score, for instance a 4 in communication means "Satisfied", eBay®, however, considers this a low grade. Their standards require sellers to maintain the average of 4.8 and above or be penalized with higher fees, which ultimately get passed on to buyers, and more. IN OTHER WORDS, ANYTHING LESS THAN 5-STARS = NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR US! We strive for a 5-Star service by stating upfront our policies, shipping rates etc.
Note: For the Shipping Time feed-back part, please base our rating on how quickly we shipped out your item from the time you paid, not on how quickly the USPS took to deliver the package. Please base your feedback on our services alone.
