Purchasing information
This is a no-reserve auction. Serious bidding, please.
Shipping:
I ship to the US
only
, via USPS (The Post Office).
I do not ship outside the United States - no exceptions.
Books, sound recordings, and video tape will be sent via USPS media rate. Other goods are shipped via USPS economy rate. Choosing less costly shipping methods makes for lower costs for you and makes the acquisition of eBay goods more realistic. Please allow a reasonable amount of time for delivery: in particular, note the eBay annotation for expected delivery times for shipping methods. Shipments which have to travel the full width of the country will necessarily take maximal time, as compared with shipments to an adjoining New England state. And make allowances for bad weather in regions through which your package will pass, as poor travel conditions necessarily impact transit times. USPS has been 100% reliable, so delivery should be certain. Goods will ship within two business days after payment is received.
Yes, I will combine shipments on things purchased at or around the same time. If you want to bid on several of my items which close over a period of days, just let me know if you want me to accumulate them into a single shipment: I'm always happy to oblige.
About your address:
Before bidding, please check to assure that your mailing address as registered in eBay is current, correct and complete. Do not abbreviate or shorten the street or city name. Make sure the U.S. Zip Code is a full 9 digits, not merely 5. (This helps narrow down the postal location.) If your address in eBay is incorrect or incomplete, the shipment may be returned to the seller, who then may have to go to the post office and pay for the item being returned because undeliverable. Not a good situation. Registering an accurate mailing address helps both seller and buyer, and allows you as the buyer to most assuredly receive what you ordered.
Goods will be packed to avoid damage in shipment, to the extent reasonable. As a buyer, I would want my goods to arrive in good order, and so I do what I can for you as the buyer to have everything arrive in its ship-time condition.
Always check shipments on arrival. Please notify me of any problem. I take my responsibilities as a seller seriously, and stand behind what I sell, describing goods according to their actual condition, and striving to get them to you intact.
