RETURN POLICY:Buyers remorse is not a reason to expect a refund or for me to grant one. Again, please ask questions, so I can provide any details or extra information you need before offerding ,to ensure your expectations are met.

SHIPPING:

COMBINED SHIPPING: I offer Combined Shipping Services where it makes sense. I often list similar type items each week and have many buyers buy more than one item during a single night. In those cases, I will send you an invoice after your first purchase. If I see you have bought a second item, I will not send another Invoice until all items have closed that night. It is not unusual for me to have one Buyer buy 5 or more items in an evening so this saves you and I email time.

SHIPPING TIME: I normally ship within 48 hours of recieving your payment, often same or next day.

DOMESTIC: For large items that do not fit into Priority Boxes,I use either brand new, heavy card board boxes to protect your purchase or similar boxes that have been used but still appear new. I do not ship in weak, damaged boxes. I securely pack and ship items to you the way I would want to have them shipped to me. I do add a cost to cover my packaging materials.

INTERNATIONAL: I am very happy to have International buyers and do shipmany of my items Internationally. I am now using \'s Global Shipping program for International Sales & Shipping in all categories it is allowed.A fewthings I want to mention about the program though: one, I can not see the Shipping & other costs that you will see, to ship Internationally to you,as does not allow the Seller to see the charges for some reason so please check the Calculator for your total S&H costs. says they are working to change this so we will keep you posted. They also include, I believe, import tariffs and fees for your country. Two, as a Seller, I can not send you an Invoice - will do that automatically. Lastly, if for whatever reason does not or will not send you an invoice as an International Buyer, I will not send an invoice directly for direct shipment to you from me. I will work with you to help understand why has not sent an invoice but if they refuse to do so we will need to cancel the transaction.

SALES TAX: I do charge, per State Law, Sales Tax on items sold in Florida. Sales Tax is charged on the Total Sales Price, including S&H and Insurance, etc. at my County Rate of 7%.

Thanks, and Good Luck!
