I accept Pay Pal, Money Orders, and Bank Checks (for the lower 48 United States ONLY), sorry NO personal Checks - NO exceptions, they will be returned. For worldwide shipping which includes Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and anywhere else OUTSIDE the lower 48 States, I accept Pay Pal ONLY, sorry NO exceptions, anything else will be returned. Please make your payment within 7 days of the end of the auction (if you cannot make this deadline, please email me to let me know). I do not ship out any items until the actual "physical payment" has been received. I go to the post office usually twice a week, and will try to get your item to you as soon as payment is received. If you need this item for a gift and want it shipped the next day, you need to let me know ASAP, AND you possibly need to ship your package Express Mail, which of course will cost more money. The choice is yours to make. I Ship anywhere in the world - to the Lower 48 States it would be the standard rate, (depending on where your zip code is located). When shipping internationally, or to Alaska & Hawaii and also to Canada, there most likely will be an additional shipping charge that will apply, depending on the location, dimensions of the box and weight of the package.All of my items are packaged well - I have an "excellent track record" for outstanding packing achievements (check my feedback)... All items can be fully insured, if you choose. I do however; insist on Insurance if the items are breakable (like glass or electronics). After an item leaves my hands at the Post Office, it is out of my control. I cannot and will not be held responsible for any damages or losses during shipment, especially if you do NOT take the insurance. In the event of loss odamage, and you have insurance, keep absolutely everything (i.e. item, box, all packing materials, etc.); the shipper (the post office) will want to make full inspection of everything. Immediately contact the carrier (the post office)... It will be the responsibility of the "Receiver Of Record" (you) to initiate the claim - this can be done by calling the post office, or logging onto their "web sight" (usps.com). Once you file the claim with the post office, the shipping company will then forward paperwork to me for completion and I will immediately complete the forms and return them to the post office right away... Reimbursement payment will be made from the post office directly to you, the Winning Bidder.Please NOTE: I am NOT an expert in this area, or on this particular auction you are considering here. I have tried to describe it the best way I know, but still there is so much I do not know, and it will be sold as is. I would like to get you what you're looking for, for lower prices than you would normally pay in retail. AND ~ A major goal of mine is to have a satisified customer: YOU!!! If you have any questions Please do NOT hesitate to write and ask before bidding, and do NOT assume anything. If there should be something about the item and you do not see it, or understand, please ASK first before bidding, and I will try to answer your concerns to the best of my ability!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! Place a Bid!
