| SALES TAX: Sales taxes (if any) are calculated based on the location to which the product is being shipped. |
| OUR SHIPPING POLICY: Most items will be shipped by USPS-FirstClass. We
may elect to ship by some other carrier and will notify you if that is the case. International shipping world wide is a flat $8.35 ($3.50 more than U.S. shipments for all countries) for the first item, and $1 for each item added to the order which will be included on your Invoice Acknowledgement. We have not offered insurance for most International buyers because of the outrageous costs, however, in most countries we can add Shipping Confirmation upon your request for an additional $10.15, which would give a little more protection than being without. PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WITH THE CORRECT SHIPPING CHARGES BEFORE MAKING YOUR PAYMENT. |
| OUR RETURN POLICY: We're certain you'll be happy with your merchandise. We take extra care to fully
describe our items, including any flaws. If you have any questions about the item(s) you are ordering, please use our question form to ask us about the item before placing
your order. If that rare occasion arises where you feel you must return an item, please contact us for return instructions within three (3) days (by phone or email) of receipt of your item(s). Upon our receipt and inspection of the returned item(s), we will issue a refund for your item(s) if returned in the same condition as it was when it was sent to you excluding any shipping/insurance costs for which you were responsible. Buyer is responsible for return shipping/insurance costs, which will not be reimbursed for any reason. Returned merchandise must be received by us within seven (7) days of the date from which you contact us regarding the return. |
| OUR RESTOCKING POLICY: We do not charge a restocking fee, however, if you choose to return an item for any reason other than it being represented incorrectly; you will be charged $5 per piece at our discretion. |
OUR DAMAGE POLICY: Your package is covered with insurance only if you elect it at check-out. Cost is $1.70 for each $50 of merchandise coverage. In case of damage, you must keep all packing materials and contact us within 7 days of delivery to request your "Receipt for Insured Parcel" slip to be mailed to you for your USPS claim.
Next you must take the entire order (all contents and all original packing material) to your local U.S. Post Office to file a claim. The U.S. Post Office will send the claim to us for processing. Do not repack and do not mail the damaged items back to us. This will void the U.S. Post Office insurance and we will not be able to give you a refund. |
