We ship via USPS Priority mail (rates are at bottom of page). USPS Parcel Post is available for certain items upon request. USPS International shipping will be charged approx. fees plus \$1.50 handling fee, some packages may require a higher fee, depending on weight, item and shipping method. UPS shipping available for some packages (handling charge of $1.25 for the 41 mile round trip to drop off package-actual cost is $5 @ 2.90 / gallon + our time). When possible, items will be shipped together to save you postage, but payment for all items must arrive at one time. Michigan residents MUST pay sales tax or provide a valid sales tax license.

Winning bidder also has option of insurance or delivery confirmation- tracking, as we are not responsible for Postal loss or damage. Money Orders are preferred and we will ship items faster. Checks are accepted, but may need to clear before merchandise is sent (5-10 days). Returned checks will be charged \$30.00 and action taken if not resolved via Money order or other acceptable payment. We do not recommend sending cash.

All Sales are final unless item is not as described, at our discretion. These may result in a full refund. No Returns without prior authorization! All refund requests MUST be made within 3 days! Refunds are not available if you did not read the description.

We reserve the right to add a handling fee to the shipping cost. This fee is approx. 1/2 the actual cost to prepare your package. This fee takes into account bubble packing and styrofoam peanuts. These are not given to us and are quite expensive, feel free to shop around. If you see a good price for these packing materials, let us know. We also have to add the costs of boxes, when needed. Although USPS gives us free priority boxes, they can not be used for Parcel Post or UPS packages. Thus, the need to keep these on hand. These can run up to $1.25 each by themselves. If asked, we might be able to work out shipping. Combined shipping is available, based on actual shipping weight, shipping rates and packing materials.

Items are not guaranteed unless stated as such, including age. If described as old or antique, we will guarantee it to be such. When we describe an item as being old we believe it to be 35-40+ years old. Antique items are at least 60 years old, but we generally use "antique" to represent items closer to turn of the century (early 1900's). Items described as new, contemporary, reproduction or modern mean that an item is NOT antique or old and are sold as such. If an item's description does not mention age, please ask. It is generally understood that the item is new, but we tend to forget things once in a while.

We try to represent items as accurately as we can. Occasionally there is a need for more information by a potential bidder. It is your responsibility to ask questions before bidding. If you are the winning bidder, we will e-mail you with your total. You will be given 10 days for payment to arrive, unless prior arrangements are made. If no payment is received within 14 days, eBay will be notified, and we reserve the right to add a late fee of $0.50 of the bid price.

We have sold 1000s of items to satisfied customers. We trust that these are acceptable and understandable to you. Thanks for looking and good luck with your bid(s).
