The following has been added for your protection as well as ours.
Purchases PLEASE NOTE -- if you purchase  more than one item and fail to place item in cart, without us combining shipping for you, we will not refund you money for combined shipping. Sorry, but we had someone do this and we went out of our way repacking & refunding the difference which ended up being a disaster for us. We will gladly combine shipping to save you money if you contact us first; allowing us to work with you by checking to see if the items can be shipped together without worrying about oversize shipping fees or damage to the shipment by the shipper. If this can be done,  we will gladly list pieces you want in one listing after working with you about details. This way, hopefully there will be no confusion and sale can be successfully completed from start to finish.
Returned shipping is responsibility of buyer.
It is against the law to send back an item if you receive it damaged
(our photos show items you are receiving prior to us packing - if it gets damaged by USPS or other shipper, they are responsible for your refund. Instructions below per United States Government. All packages are insured for damage. We can not be responsible for refunding you if you do not follow the government policy as we indicated below. We package well as you can see from our feedback, yet we have no control for the handling of a package after it leaves us.

Calculating Shipping Charges from Carriers (UPS, Post Office, etc)
Shipping fees are charged by weight of box after packaged, dimensions of box & distance package is traveling from CT to your address. The further away you are from us, the more costly the shipping fee will be from the carrier. We do not add a handling fee to our listings unless item requires special packing. Feel free to go to USPS or UPS website to confirm fee you of charge if you have any concerns .

PO & UPS both consider items weighing 1/10 ounce over 1 lb. at 2 lb. rate, etc.

items and list our findings. If you feel we are not describing this correctly, we welcome any information you may wish to share with us, along with how you know it to be true. If we can verify it, we will adjust our listing.
.......... Communication -- We answer all questions we receive (providing they are not forwarded to our spam folder as we don't see them) We send shipping information (usually in feedback) as Ebay generates tracking information to customers when label is printed.
Honest feedback is given to all who purchase from us.  We would appreciate communication from you as well, if you have any concerns after receiving merchandise or you feel you can not give us positive feedback & 5* DSR's so we may address your concerns.

Condition
No damage - as stated -- No chips, nicks, cracks, or dents
99% of our merchandise is preowned. If we find anything that does not look good to us, we will mention it in our listing. We never list broken or damaged items. Photos should be examined closely in case we miss something. If we missed something, please let us know.
PACKING & SHIPPING
Priority & UPS cost more money than first class & parcel select -- we feel your merchandise should get to you in the same condition as it leaves our hands. This is the best way to ship our fragile merchandise .
Overseas -- we only ship overseas through the Ebay Global shipping program
.
We do not determine shipping fees. That is between Ebay and the customer. If you wish to purchase from us and need to know the fees prior to bidding, please contact Ebay.
If you choose a freight forwarder, it is their responsibility to get your merchandise to you unharmed from United States to your destination should something get lost or damaged. PLEASE CONTACT THEM IN THIS CASE. THIS IS WHY WE REQUEST ALL OVERSEAS SHIPPING BE PURCHASED THROUGH EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING. EBAY MAKES SURE IT IS DELIVERED WITH NO PROBLEMS PROTECTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER.
RETURNS
Returns -  Allowed only
if items are the same condition as sent to you and as seen in photo because the item in photo is the actual item you are receiving. The return shipping fee is at your expense as well as post office's delivery to you since they will not refund it. We only refund returns that are sent back to us in same condition as we mailed them to you. If an item arrives damage it is considered an unforeseen circumstance.
WE INSURE ALL OUR MERCHANDISE -
UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
If an item is lost we will contact shipper about concern.
We package securely, however we have no control of how UPS or the post office handle our packages. Should a breakage problem arise, we will do our best to help you get refunded as we insure all shipments for loss or damage. PLEASE DO NOT ASK EBAY TO RETURN BECAUSE ITEM WAS DAMAGED.
IT IS AGAINST THE LAW (UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT) TO SEND ANYTHING  DAMAGED                                                         THROUGH THE MAIL.
IN ADDITION,  IF SHIPPED BACK TO SELLER THE INSURANCE WILL BE VOID BECAUSE THE TRACKING # IS DIFFERENT  THAN THE NUMBER WE SENT IT TO WITH.
Should damage happen, we will need the following to file a claim
- 1) Photo of the Box 2) Photo showing all the packing material we put in the box, 3) Photo of the broken item 4) Photo of the address label attached to the box as this is required when filing a claim.
If Shipper wants to see the item you will be responsible for bringing it to the shipper (it can not be returned to us as claim / tracking number will not be valid and claim will be denied).  With any claim, keep all merchandise and copies for your protection. If this is not done, it is unfair for you to expect us to refund money when these rules are made by US Government, and not sellers.
Thanks for looking and have fun shopping! We look forward to doing business with you, should you choose to do so.
P.S. We apologize for taking up your time with all the above information. We hope to have our customers 100% satisfied with doing business with us; so we have given all information we are knowledgeable about should a concern arise.
