International Buyers - CONTACT SELLER BEFORE offerDING. Seller approval -> REQUIRED <- on International orders - Seller may void sale and refund any payment which has been sent when any term of sale is ignored. International shipping is not shown as an option on this sale due to \'s wretched shipping calculator and overpriced \"we\'ll do it for ya\" global shipping. We can ship internationally - but will do so only if we say \"yes\", when asked, prior to sale.
We do not ship to any unconfirmed address. By purchasing this item from us, the buyer accepts responsibility for delivery of uninsured packages - While it can happen, it is very rare and only a couple of packages out of many hundreds have unaccountably disappeared in transit. We will insure, at Buyer expense, when requested and paid by buyer prior to shipping, so don\'t be shy about it if you want the package insured. If you do not request insurance it is not added.
We ship in sturdy packaging using as much select recycled shipping materials, such as bubble-wrap envelopes, as available, in order to minimize our contribution to the inevitable shipper-generated waste stream. Packages are assembled to our notion of a USPS-proof standard, i.e. no problems with a 6 foot toss or 3 foot drop. See photos of the box/packing this item will be sent in.
If there is a problem with the order, please communicate with us by email prior to leaving response - we do our best to describe items accurately and ship promptly and always leave response for buyers after your item has been received and buyer response has been left. We will never leave negative response for a buyer other than a non-paying buyer or one who gives us a negative. Your satisfaction with the purchase is important to us and we do make the effort to hold up our end. You can buy with confidence.
