We use a jeweler’s loop when grading porcelain and fine china. We make every effort to find every chip, crack, scratch, break, repair, and/or finish damage/irregularity.. We grade strictly and to the highest standard, and we found no evidence of damage or repair to this CREAMWARE & LACE CAROUSEL HORSE.

We do not do repairs. We do not disguise damage. We clean superficially & dust/polish wood surfaces, and describe items as we find them. Our customers know exactly what they are purchasing, and are NEVER unpleasantly surprised. Our packaging is first-rate. Of 450+ shipped packages, we have received reports of only two that contained damaged merchandise, and BOTH OF THESE COMPLAINTS were from a single Buyer, and we therefore regard them as highly suspect. More to the point, we do not believe that this Buyer communicated honestly about the condition of the merchandise that she received. We guarantee that your merchandise will arrive in the condition in which it was shipped, and WE ARE SELF-INSURED.

Shipping will be combined for all Carousel pieces: 1-2 pieces ship as 1. 3-4 pieces ship as 2. 5 pieces ship as 3. 439 pieces ship as 407. ___________________________________________________________________

The QvSoft & Phila Way:

In the event that you receive merchandise from us that is not what you expected or intended to purchase, by all means, please contact us immediately. We are flexible within reason, and would like for you to feel that you have received a quality product at a fair price, that you have been treated courteously and with respect, and that your experience with us reflects our regard of your patronage as an earned privilege.

Several hundred years ago, my UCSB Intensive Mandarin Professor voiced his belief that the sole purpose of doing business was to generate profit. In respectful disagreement I replied, (para.) “I believe that the purpose of operating a business is to offer a product or service of high quality at a price that benefits the community which it serves, and of which it is a beneficent member”. I still believe this, and I insist that this philosophy be carried in the presentation and conduct of our business. We feel that we are deserving of your patronage only to the degree that we extend this level of service to you. For these reasons, we regard a complaint as a considerate gesture that represents an opportunity to enhance our merchant-customer relationships through the improvement of our conduct.

Doomed to exist unstylishly in the CYCLE of birth, old age, death, and re-birth for as many eons as The Sands of Pamela Anderson's Panties, you will suffer the embarrassing inconvenience and hardship of growing out of your clothes throughout all of Eternity.
