SHIPPING
Depending on the item being shipped, I offer several shipping options. Any shipping method that is legal for your item, of services offered by the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service and FedEx, may be used. Buyer pays all shipping costs.

• Items weighing less than 12 ounces after packing may be shipped by First Class Mail for a fixed price as listed in my item description. (It includes my cost for the padded envelope, small box, etc., and will be less than Priority rate.)
• Items weighing up to 16 ounces after packing will be shipped Priority with free Delivery Confirmation.
• Items weighing between 1 to 4 pounds will be shipped your choice of Parcel Post or Priority with Delivery Confirmation.
• Items weighing over 4 pounds will be shipped your choice of Parcel Post, Priority, UPS or FedEx Home Delivery.

Note, I have often found the Ebay calculator to be wrong for UPS. When I include it, it is just to give an estimate -- and the actual cost of UPS or FedEx will be charged, regardless of what Ebay's calculator says. I will give you a direct quote, at your request. I love FedEx because I can pay for the shipping online, then drop it off 24 hours a day at Kinkos. Currently, FedEx Ground/Home Delivery is the lowest priced shipper for most areas of the U.S. for items weighing over 4 pounds.
 

DELIVERY TIMES
From the time of shipment until your package arrives, it all depends on the shipping service -- but here are some estimates of usual delivery times.

• First Class Mail usually takes a week; 
• Priority Mail generally takes 2 to 7 days; 
• UPS Ground, Parcel Post and FedEx Ground or Home Delivery generally take 5-10 days and 
• Media Mail generally takes 2 to 4 weeks. Those times are within the United States. 
• International Mail delivery times vary from 1 week to 4 months, depending on shipping method you choose. 

PAYMENT
I accept almost any payment method you wish to use, provided that...

• it is in U.S. funds, 
• it is for the full amount of the cost of the item(s) plus shipping and insurance, and does not exceed that full amount by more than $5.00.
• does not require me to join anything in order to receive it, 
• and it does not cost me a bank fee in order to receive it.

PACKAGING
I believe in conservation, so therefore the packaging materials used to wrap and pack your item will be recycled materials, except for Priority Mail boxes and padded envelopes. This saves trees and nature, and also saves on packing costs which I can pass on to you as savings on shipping costs.
 

RETURNS
Returns are accepted on most of my items, if you contact me within 3 (three) days of receipt, as long the item (1) is in the same condition as it was when received, and (2) if my marks are still on the item and (3) it is packed and shipped in the same way it was packed and shipped to you. (4) Shipping insurance IS required on returns. (5) Please notify me of your intent to return the item before sending it. Unless it was seller error, only the purchase price will be refunded, not shipping costs. Refunds will be made by the same method that the original payment was received (except cash). 
 

BREAKAGE OR DAMAGE
I pack very well and have not had anything damaged in the mails, yet. But if it does happen, please keep the original shipping box and all of the contents, and email me for further instructions. A claim will be filed with the appropriate carrier and your refund will be sent as soon as they process the claim. Proof of damage may be required. Do not mail damaged merchandise back to me, as that VOIDS your claim.
 

FEEDBACK
I have been buying and selling on Ebay since 1998, and have observed that the Ebay feedback system is quite flawed. I also note that leaving it is voluntary, according to Ebay. Since the changes to Feedback in May 2008, I am no longer leaving feedback. However, if you have less than 50 feedback and request feedback, I will leave it for you after I know that you have received your purchase and are happy with it.
