READ BEFORE BIDDING!
WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS, CHECK THE PICTURES (AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION) AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE PRIOR TO BIDDING. IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS AUCTION ON A CELL PHONE AND DO NOT LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES OR READ THE DESCRIPTION (INCLUDING THIS!) AND BUY AN ITEM WITHOUT DOING THE ABOVE AND EXPECT A RETURN
SORRY, IT AINT HAPPENING!
THIS IS PART OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A BUYER.
ANY ITEM LISTED TO SHIP BY FED EX WILL NEED A PHYSICAL ADDRESS. FEDEX CANNOT DELIVER TO A P.O.BOX.
WE WILL NOT SHIP TO ANY ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ADDRESS REGISTERED TO YOUR EBAY ACCOUNT. IF YOU WANT IT SHIPPED TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS ON YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE PAYING. WE WILL NOT CHANGE ANY ADDRESS.
WE WILL SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ONLY THROUGH EBAY'S
GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.
AND NOW, THE SHIPPING MONSTER:
THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT SHIPPING COSTS MONEY, IT'S THERE AND CANNOT BE AVOIDED. FOR THOSE BUYERS THAT DO NOT SELL ON EBAY YOU MIGHT NOT BE AWARE THAT BOTH OUR HOST AND THEIR CHOSEN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT PROVIDER DEDUCT THEIR PERCENTAGE OUT OF SHIPPING COSTS IN ADDITION TO THEIR FINAL VALUE FEES ON THE SALE PRICE. SO IF A SELLER CHARGES .50 FOR SHIPPING, AFTER FEES HE WILL SEE ABOUT .75. ADD TO THIS THE COST OF BUBBLE WRAP, BOXES, PEANUTS, TAPE, GLUE, PAPER FOR LABELS, PRINTER INK AND ACTUAL SHIPPING CHARGES AND THE SELLER ENDS UP SUPPLEMENTING THE COST OUT OF POCKET.
WE WORK TO KEEP SHIPPING COSTS MINIMAL, OFFER FREE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE AND GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE WINS. PACKING IS DONE WITH GREAT CARE, AS IF WE BOUGHT THE ITEM AND WANTED IT TO REACH US UNDAMAGED. WE GO THE EXTRA MILE IN PACKING AND TAKE PRIDE IN A JOB WELL DONE, OUR FEEDBACK REFLECTS THIS. WE MAKE NO PROFIT ON SHIPPING, IN MOST CASES COSTS ARE OFFSET OUT OF POCKET. THERE IS A HANDLING CHARGE OF .00 ON SMALL ITEMS TO COVER PACKING MATERIALS, IT WILL BE MORE ON LARGER ITEMS, THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE QUOTED SHIPPING PRICE
.
WE OFFER 3 DAY SHIPPING BUT MOST ITEMS SHIP NEXT BUSINESS DAY. LARGER, MORE DIFFICULT TO PACK ITEMS MAY TAKE LONGER.
