*Be Sure to scroll to the bottom of listing to see information that may have been added by me [or in the “Question” section] since auction began.DESCRIPTION: Offered unreserved are 2 lovely small original color woodblock (woodcut) prints. They are signed and sealed. I do not know who the artist is. They are unframed and tipped onto a card. The portrait is tacked in the 2 upper corners; the other on the 4 corners. If desired, I’m sure they would soak off in a flash.
FRAMING...: Neither framed nor matted.
DIMENSIONS: Both sheets measures 5 1/2 x 3 1/2” (14 x 8.9 cm) and the cards are 6 x 8” (15.2 x 20.3 cm). CONDITION: Nice colors and printing.
A note about our condition reports: Knowing the failings of web photos, we try to be meticulous in our condition reports: we would rather you be relieved at our overstating problems when you receive the item rather than discover something we didn’t note. So, don’t be put off by the number of things we might list under this section, we list everything and many of the things we note are very minor. You can trust our condition reports! 19+ years on eBay, over 2000 sales, and not one return. We’re proud of our 100% feedback rating. (Please refer to “Conditions” section, below). Please feel free to email with specific questions; we will always respond with detailed information.SHIPPING: SHIPPING HAS GOTTEN VERY EXPENSIVE IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED WITH THE NEW USPS RATES! If, due to you being closer to us for shipping other other reasons, shipping is cheaper, I will refund some of the shipping fee.
Will combine shipping to save you money so if you win this item and are interested in other item(s) that are ending in a few days, let me know ahead of time so I can hold this package as I generally ship within 24 hours of the end of the sale. If you wish quicker (more expensive) or slower (less expensive) delivery than listed, please email for a quote. Also, if I find because of your proximity to me or other reasons I can ship for less than the stated amount, I will refund the difference. (I have done this many times in the past). You will get a printed receipt of your purchase.FOREIGN SHIPPING: I am willing to ship most items I list anywhere in the world. I use the eBay Global Shipping Program [see below]. It is not cheap to ship overseas. Please be aware of this before bidding. The shipping fee listed above is for getting your purchase to the eBay GSP shipping center in Kentucky. Further shipping and custom charges will then be added there to get the package to you safely eBAY’S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM: I have had a number of buyers ask me to not use the Global Shipping Program (GSP) because they said it’s too expensive and takes too long. I had an occasion where I gave a quote to ship to Australia at my cost and it was more expensive than eBay’s GSP. As far as take a long time: IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. It just does. (Usually because of hold ups in customs which can take a week or more). It does take time: often 1-2 weeks or more but it does get there. Be Patient.Please don’t ask me to declare a lower value on foreign shipments. I will not leave the invoice out of the package nor make up a new, fake, one. Please be aware of this. Thank you.
Some information on shipping costs
The cost of shipping can be a sensitive issue at eBay. eBay would like it if everything could be shipped free, like their idol, Amazon.com. They say “raise your price and include the shipping” and then offer FREE SHIPPING. That perhaps works when one is selling new items. With an auction, if I start it for $10 and it falls flat, I lose both ways.
The actual cost of shipping an item from Northern New England to our customers is fairly cut and dried. We prefer to use the U.S. Postal Service and their Priority Mail or Standard Post if at all possible. Larger packages will go Parcel Post or FEDEX ground as it can be a substantial cost savings.
We will, of course, reuse packaging when appropriate but mostly use new boxes, cardboard sheets, tape, etc. that we purchase. The boxes are not cheap. If you have purchased an unframed print from us, it was shipped between 2 (and more likely 4) sheets of 275# double wall cardboard. Those sheets cost over $1.00 each. The special tape we use to cover the glass of framed art and keep it intact in case of breakage costs $85 per roll. We purchase new bubble wrap and packing peanuts. We have never had an item damaged due to poor wrapping and packaging because we do not cut corners to save money. So you get your item safely. (Please see our feedback to see how customers appreciate our packaging.).
Our charge for shipping is based on the actual shipping charges from the USPS and does not take into account our costs for materials nor the time to package the items and bring them to the Post Office. Please take this into account when leaving DSRs. We do not “make money” on our shipping charges, we lose money.CONDITIONS/RETURNS: This is an auction and all sales are considered final. However, all items are guaranteed to be as described and may be returned within 2 weeks for a full refund if proven to be substantially different from our description. We do not consider changing your mind or buyer’s remorse valid reasons for return. * We encourage you to ask questions before bidding. We endeavor to be meticulous in our descriptions, so bid with confidence. *All artwork is unconditionally guaranteed to be by the named artist unless otherwise specifically noted.
