STORE POLICIES
SHIPPING:
Let’s talk about shipping costs first. Everyone is all bent about the high cost of shipping, and rightly so. However; I only charge you what it actually costs me to mail this item to you. Isn’t that fair? If I overestimate the cost, you always receive a refund. Check my feedbacks now, before you bid, and you will see that it is true. Please don’t get upset and blame me for USPS postal costs that I do not control. If you can’t afford fair shipping, you shouldn’t be bidding.
I ship Priority Mail, because boxes are free, and then I don’t have to charge you a “handling charge”. Also, it is faster, and safer… less handling by Postal employees. I use high-quality packing materials or low-cost recycled materials when I can, to safely package your valuable items. Despite my 20+ years of packing experience, your box will be dropping from a 6 foot loading conveyor belt at the Post Office, and thrown into a metal container for its next sorting. I try to anticipate the worst handling, and hope for the best. If you want to insure your item against loss, please request to purchase it before you pay your invoice.
DO I COMBINE SHIPPING ? HECK YES, I DO!!!!
I'm glad you asked..... here's the way I do it: after you buy the two or more items, and I know that I can safely combine them (like one is not a bowling ball and the other a crystal goblet), then I pre-pack with padding in the appropriate box or padded envelope. I weigh the pre-packed items together in the box, etc, input our zip codes and the combined weight into the USPS official postage calculator and come up the very accurate down to the ounce amount I shall need to invoice you for. That way, it is extremely fair to both of us, and no one feels cheated. Sound good? Well, not everyone does it that way... some people use Algebra or consult Tarot cards, or some other method that doesn't make much sense to me... My way, you only pay for the actual weight, plus any weight of materials. Now, if you require any fancy type box that I can't get free at the USPS Post Office, I might need to add that cost in, plus any fancy packaging materials... I had to stop dumpster diving when I found out it was illegal. I hope that seemed clear enough to you... if not, please shoot me an email with your specific items of interest, so I can figure out your estimated cost... OH!!! And please WAIT to receive an invoice from me with the combined shipping cost BEFORE paying.... I DO give refunds for excess shipping charges, but it's much nicer if you just give me a bit of a heads up beforehand, to sort it out correctly for YOU to $$$$ave Big Buck$$$$.
SO VERY SORRY, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS.
PHOTOS:
Please take a careful look at the photo/s, and look at the things that are important to you. If you don’t see what you need to see, ask for more photos, and ask any and all questions you need to satisfy yourself that what you see is what you WANT. Be aware that unless otherwise specified, all items are AS-IS, and in used condition. That means they have been stored, moved, handled, dusted, and repacked again.
PAYMENT:
Paypal is REQUIRED. eBay now has a new ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS ONLY edict, and I can not accept credit cards or other methods of payment.
Payment should be RECEIVED within 7 days of end of auction. On day 8, your auction becomes eligible for a NON-PAYING Bidder Alert, which is automatically filed. If you run into a problem, simply email me. Non-communication is a signal that you aren’t serious about your bid.
FEEDBACK:
I will leave you loads of ++++ Feedback, as soon as I hear from you, that you are 100% satisfied. Please do the same for me? If you are unhappy, or have any problem with your item, simply email me, and I will take care of it. You have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you didn’t ask enough questions, or request extra photos, don’t like it for whatever, please write me before leaving feedback. If you think the cost of shipping is too high, I can’t help that, and I sympathize. We have a new STAR rating system with eBay feedback, and I notice that it allows you to comment on shipping costs, which I have no control over, but please don’t penalize me for your dissatisfaction with the cost of government services.
RETURNS:
Accepted within THREE (3) days of your receipt of your item, as noted by the free delivery & tracking confirmation you will receive. Email me first, so I know to expect it. If possible, re-use packaging. You will receive your refund only after the item is returned, unless we make other arrangements. Communicate!
ABOUT ME
I was born in a magical time for a future collector: the early 1950’s! I was an only child, so I spent a lot of time by myself, and I started collecting at a very early age. First, postage stamps, foreign coins, and post cards, as most of the family lived overseas on various continents, so that was just too easy. Also, we brought a bunch of stuff with us, when we moved here from Europe. Gifts and souvenirs from local and foreign travels. And then in 1959, the Barbie Doll was invented. Everyone started to buy me Barbie Dolls! I wonder why? I grew up less than two miles from two world-famous amusement parks: The Original Magic Kingdom, Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. Southern California was a great place to collect in! Everything intrigued me.
Now Lola, my American Pit Bull Terrier, and I are about to retire, and fulfill our dream of moving to Hawaii. Well, it's not really Lola's dream, because she dreams about tennis balls. But we need to SELL off all of our collections, except our Leeteg painting. And for some unknown reason, now my family gives me all their old junk (precious collectibles!) to sell for them.
LOLA AND I ARE TREE-HUGGING HIPPIES, AND WE ALSO SELL GREAT PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE AND PETS, LIKE ANIMAL ESSENTIALS PET SUPPLEMENTS. THESE ARE SO GOOD, WE BOTH EAT THEM!
DON'T FORGET TO LOVE YOUR PLANET! "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE" IS NOT JUST A MANTRA ANYMORE... PLEASE RECYCLE MY PACKAGING MATERIALS IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER. WE THANK YOU. MOTHER EARTH THANKS YOU.
