* Item Descriptions / We Try...But We're Not Perfect...Just Human We inspect our items with a fine tooth comb to look for & describe every possible notable detail we can find. If any flaws are found, other than light shelf or storagewear or anything that would be expected from a pre owned gently used item, we include detailed written descriptions, as well as close up photos of the specific areas being addressed, so you can see what we are describing rather than having to rely on only our written descriptions. So there are times that our listings will be a bit on the lengthy, drawn out, as you're thinking....."just get to the point, already!"..... but we would MUCH rather give more details than not enough, so there's never any reason for wonder or concern about an item being anything other than exactly what is pictured and described. But if there is any time that we should have given even more details....(aka...there's an oversight of something that we didn't mention and should have), please let us know. If your item is not exactly as described and / or there are details or flaws that we missed, we humbly admit that we are human and take responsibility for mistakes that we make. We just need to know where we goofed so we can correct our mistake.* Photos Say So MuchAlways refer to the photos for more detail, & if there are ever any questions or we have not included photos of a particular angle, side, etc...that shows a feature of an item, that is of relevance & importance for a particular item, message me with your question (s) and/or tell me what photos I need to add & lll get you what you need, asap.* Our Packing Methods We take great care in packaging all of our items so that they arrive to their destinations, in the same conditions that they are presented in our listings & we go to whatever extremes needed, to insure a safe & successful transit. So there may be times that you will need to make a little bit of an effort for "getting to the gold" once your package arrives, since we pack as if there's a chance that your package could be delivered by a linebacker. But we feel confident & at ease with each package we ship, knowing that they would need to have the impact of a Mac truck, before there being a possibility of damage. But since nothing is impossible and Mac trucks are everywhere ...If you do have a package delivered that is damaged, contact us asap and if we were at fault, we will take care of the situation asap.Also, we reuse boxes and packing materials to cut down on costs so we can avoid charging handling fees and for recycling purposes, but if you would like us to use new shipping supplies, we are more than happy to do so for an additional handling fee charge * Combining items for ShippingWe will gladly combine items for shipping. If you would like to know the shipping cost prior to purchasing multiple items, message us to let us know the items of interest & your zip code & we will reply asap, with the shipping options & rates that we find.* If We Don't Know....Let Us KnowWe try our best to stay one step ahead of the game so we can avoid causing you to be waiting for us for completing transactions, for any reason. But if multiple items are purchased for combined shipping and we make no mention or are ready to check out and we haven't updated the combined shipping rates yet, just send us a quick message to give us a nudge and we will get everything set up correctly, asap.* Your Shipping PreferenceIf you prefer a specific shipping option that we dont mention, we will ship packages any way that is preferred, as long as it's a USPS or FedEx preference. We just automatically offer the most efficient and economic option(s) we can find. We mail items daily so it's no problem for us to send items for 1-2 day delivery. Just let us know your needs /preferences and we'll do our best to oblige.* Media Mail When shipping USPS media mail, we usually use a flat rate to keep things simple. For multiple items shipped media mail, it's only $1 for each additional item shipped.* How Shipping Cost is DeterminedFor any shipping option besides media mail, we determine our shipping rates from the measurements & weight of packages & the location we're shipping too, so you only pay exact shipping costs...no hidden added fees.* Local PickupLocal buyers may pick up items, rather than have items shipped. Arrangements for picking Items up need to be made within 24 hours after making a purchase and the item(s) need to be physically picked up within 48 after making the purchase. * Special Treatment for Items Purchased for GiftsIf an item is being purchased as a gift..... for a small fee I will gift wrap the item, adorned with ribbon, a full bow made up of curling ribbon and a "to / from" gift tag. The wrapping fee depends on the size of the item. 4 sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Message me for details* Contact us at any time if you have any questions or concerns.
