These tins are all from my late Grandfathers estate. My Grandfather collected these marketing tins for more than sixty years. He collected Aspirin Tins, Fuse Tins, Fishing Tins, Prophylactic Tins, etc. We have more than 50 boxes of tins that we will be selling individually on ebay. We do our best to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions. The item portrayed in the picture is the one you will receive.
We do not work weekends. Our shipping center is not even open on Saturdays. I will do my best to answer questions through my phone during the weekend when I find free time, but the app will not let me send invoices with combined shipping. All of those transactions, plus shipping takes place during the work week, Monday - Friday.
SHIPPING: Please note our shipping charge. We live 23 miles away from our shipping center (Not a Post Office). We do NOT have USPS come to our location. We must drive 23 miles each way to get the items to a shipping center that charges for postage with tracking, packaging fees for boxes, padded shippers, bubble wrap, etc. Anything else go towards handling fees (the cost of fuel is not cheap). We apologize to anyone who does not like the fee but we can not lose money on these transactions. If you bid, expect that shipping cost. If you bid and win and chose not to pay, ebay will be notified.
We WILL combine shipping for the first 3 tins and then add $0.50 cents per tin after that. We DO encourage you to let us know if you are bidding on multiple items. We try very hard to work with the buyer and want each transaction to be as seamless as possible. Thank you for stopping by and please be sure to check our other auctions.
