MISSVENETO'S PAGE
HELLO, WELCOME TO MY PAGE AND THANKS FOR CHECKING IN
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am Italian born, a small town outside of Venice, hence my ID as that is the region. From there I emigrated to Australia at age 4 where I spent most of my life. I have now been living in Wisconsin for ... hmm ... I've lost track, I think its now 13 years with my husband, and 2 sons, a 9yr old with spina bifid and a 22yr old student, whom thankfully doesn't live at home as his room has been taken over by linens.
ALL OF MY TREASURES
I spend a lot of time at estate sales and have turned my attention more and more to vintage linens, but if there is something else that catches my eye, I'll buy it! My linens require a lot of time and effort, as I hand wash every piece, do some minor repairs, (without altering the general appearance) such as tacking back a piece of lace or sewing a split seam. I wash all my linens, excepting for any still in original packaging for 2 reasons, firstly I believe that the buyer should receive a "sweet" smelling piece, rather than a "musty, odorous" thing. Secondly, if it falls apart, which vintage linens can do, then I bear the burden. There is nothing more disappointing than spending money on linens, only to have them fall to pieces, once you get them into your home. Ironing is not my favorite pursuit, but I do it, so they will present nicely. I then pack in new large plastic bags or ziploc bags depending on the size of the article. I try to list any flaw, blemish or stain that is present, but occasionally something may escape my notice.
All descriptions of my linens are an honest attempt to evaluate the item's condition and appearance. I am very critical, and perhaps for this reason I often overstate a tiny spot or blemish.
BUSINESS PRACTICES
I have spent a lot of money buying peanuts for any breakables which I sell. Cardboard boxes are recycled from friends, neighbors and local stores, therefore I cannot guarantee that they come from a smoke free environment. Linens are generally mailed in Tyvec type envelopes or in cases of large quantities I endeavour to make sure that the box is "fresh". I pack extremely well and as a buyer noted in my feedback it "could have survived a nuclear blast."
I try to specify shipping weights in my listings, but sometimes this is not always possible. I will promptly answer any query as to estimated shipping charges if it isn't specified. I always charge posted USPS Postal Rates and will not and do not "skim" off the top, what you are quoted is what you pay. I always quote the cheaper parcel post option if it is a larger item, first class mail for smaller packages. Of course, if a buyer wishes to use a carrier other than the USPS, I will happily oblige with that request. I know this may sound silly to people, but each item that leaves my home is like a bird leaving the nest. I worry that it will get to its destination safely, therefore, I require the buyer to take insurance on items over $20.00. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind on both our parts, and whilst I think that the USPS does a wonderful job, sometimes packages do go astray.
I accept Paypal only on purchases over $25.00 excluding shipping and do accept it for any overseas transactions regardless of the amount. I prefer Bidpay, money order or cashiers check. Personal checks require a clearance period. I ship 6 days a week, usually on the same afternoon of receipt of payment by money order or cashiers check (unless the mailman is late) and always send buyers an email that the item is on its way.
To the question of non payment. There have been far too many instances of non payment, and whilst I am an extremely patient person, buyers have to realize that I cannot wait indefinitely for payment. Therefore, if payment is not received within 10 days of auction's end, and there has been no response to payment reminders through the ebay system and/or response to emails I have individually sent, I will take the appropriate steps necessary to issue an alert.
I can assure you that I strive to achieve and maintain good customer service and will do everything possible to make your buying experience with me a happy one.
Thank you.
