INSURANCE: Mostly, I sell collectibles, antiques and unique items that require insurance (often because they're fragile, or not easily replaced). With the change in eBay's policy on insurance; this cost is now included in my handling charge.
PACKAGING: Fragile items and items of odd sizes such as glass, porcelain (etc.) usually require extra packing material. If a custom made shipping carton is needed, this cost will be included in the handling charge and I will state this in the item description when applicable.
SHIPPING: I ship primarily via priority mail insured. For large items not suitable for priority mail, I use parcel post insured. I use insured media mail for printed matter and books. On international orders, I use priority mail international with insurance or registered first class international mail. If you purchase more than one item, I will combine shipping to save on costs where feasible.
PLEASE NOTE: Domestic & International First Class Mail is not insurable. Please advise me before I invoice you and state that you are willing to assume the risk of loss or damage. If you have a particular request, please let me know beforehand.
My goal is to ship within 2 to 3 days after your payment clears and, except for the occasional glitch, I've been able to accomplish this.
PAYMENT: eBay requires the use of Paypal; if your needs vary, please contact me prior to bidding. Please use Paypal for payment on international orders. You can also use credit cards or e-checks through your paypal account.
TAX: I collect New York State sales tax on all orders purchased and / or shipped within New York State.
RETURNS: I make every effort to provide honest and accurate descriptions, but, like anything else, things sometimes go wrong. If this should happen, please contact me immediately to arrange a solution. Please remember, antiques sometimes show some age and wear, they've been around awhile. Handmade items are treasured because they're handmade, they're not perfect like mechanized production. Returns must be carfeully packed and insured. If I 'm in error, I will reimburse this cost.
