I ship all packages via the US Postal Service. I use First Class Mail for many of the smaller items, and Priority Mail for others. I will gladly upgrade to Priority Mail for the First class packages if you request it and send the extra postage. For large and/or heavy items requiring shipping quote by postal zone, I will inform you of your choices if there is a big difference in cost between Parcel Post, First Class and Priority rates. If you really want an item delivered in a hurry, I will ship by Express Mail, but it is expensive. Just ask me for the postage quote if you would like this service. Buyer pays shipping. Shipping charge is based on the actual cost of postage, but I sometimes "round off" the figure to make adding easier and absorb some of the cost of packing materials and handling. I usually do not add more than 50 cents to the actual postage. Insurance is extra, based on the price of the item. Overseas orders, please email with address for exact shipping charges. I will combine multiple purchases to save shipping and packing materials. Recycled or environmentally friendly packaging materials used whenever possible.
Money order/cashier's check and PayPal payments ship immediately. If you live in the USA and have an eBay feedback rating of 10 or more, you may pay by personal check, but I may hold the package 10 days to allow the check time to clear clear before shipping. Due to bank fees, I charge an extra $20 for returned checks.
I do not usually email a notification when payment is received. (Keep this in mind when you pay by check, it will be a little while before you hear from me) If I do not receive your payment in a reasonable amount of time, I will email a reminder to you.
NJ residents please add 6% sales tax for any purchases, except clothing. (it's the law)
Shipping notification: I leave feedback on eBay when your package goes out. If you check your feedback and see one from me, that means your package is on its way.
Feedback: I leave feedback for every transaction, and I appreciate positive feedback in return if you are satisfied with your purchase.
Deadbeat Bidders: I try to give the bidder ample time to respond to my emails and send payments, and I can be very understanding about extenuating circumstances. However, if you simply do not honor your bid and send payment for the item, I will leave negative feedback and notify eBay. If for any reason you can't pay for the item, let me know and I will see if we can work something out.
