******************************
Once packages have left my home and have shipped, they are unfortunately out of my control. However. I will help you any way I can to assist in tracking (with tracking number and info) if your package takes too long to arrive.
Due to the current pandemic, USPS has been extremely slow and many times tracking updates and shipping has been delayed.
If your package does not turn up by the estimated delivery window, I would suggest checking with your USPS mail carrier.
I will check on my end as well. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
PLEASE NOTE:
Most of the items I sell are from three generations of family heirlooms that we have no room for, while others belong to friends or relatives.  I do my best to research the items and attempt to describe them accurately using photos and text. Some items have been discovered at local estate sales and I refer to all research information to try to verify authenticity for every auction item. Also, I will clean off the surface dirt but I usually won't attempt to polish or wash vintage items. Please keep in mind that most of what I sell is vintage and/or used and is not sold in ?new off the shelf? condition, even though the auction states that they are "new" (described as *in original box, never opened, but not in pristine condition*).
Photos are part of the description.  I try to post as many pictures as possible showing various angles.
We strive to describe and showcase, via photos, any defects or wear to our vintage items, so please review all of the pictures provided for full disclosure.  We do our best to describe any significant damages so that there will be no surprises upon their arrival.  Please be a smart and informed buyer. Please feel free to ask any and all questions you may have
prior
to bidding.
Also, most of our items are vintage, which means they have been used.  Please remember when buying these vintage items, they have had a previous owner prior to reaching your home.
Please expect to find signs of wear, scuffs, dust, odors (smoke or mildew) or other minimal damage to items, unless otherwise noted.
Buyer must contact me within 3 days and payment is due within 7 days of the end of the auction or the item will be re-listed. Please note that as the highest bidder of any eB
ay auction
you are entering into a legally bindi
ng contract.
I will make sure all goods are delivered safely to the common carrier.
Any questions or for additional photos please feel free to email.
Insurance will be added at the buyer's request
and will be an additional fee.
Please email me if you want
a new invoice sent out with included insurance added.  Insurance is
always
recommended.
Once item(s) are shipped, I will not be held responsible if lost or damaged in transit if not insured.
U.S. shipping only unless cleared through myself first or if the auction has been listed with the Global Shipping option.
International buyers
must
utilize the Global Shipping option so please be aware of the stated shipping charges.
Buyers that utilize the Global Shipping option MUST have a current STREET ADDRESS...the Global Shipping team WILL NOT ship to a P.O. Box.  [As per eBay....Note:
With the exception of shipments to Canada, delivery to P.O. Boxes is not supported by the Global Shipping Program. Shipments to APO or FPO addresses are also not supported.]  Paypal users MUST have CONFIRMED ADDRESS. I only charge actual shipping.  In addition, I always add 'delivery confirmation' to each and every listing WHICH IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES.
I utilize a 5-day handling time, just so you are aware.
Please feel free to check my other listings and add me to your favorites, if you wish. I typically add an item or two every day. If you have a special request, please let me know.
Please Note: This item (or items) is (are) sold "as is". One should expect wear appropriate to the age, if relevant to the item. I carefully describe and photograph my items and I provide details honestly and as accurately as I can, so please bid with confidence, and ask questions if I have left out something important to you.
95% of my items are second hand and I have no knowledge as to how they were cared for in the past. Therefore, please be advised that I cannot guarantee that the items are odor-free.
Again, I am very happy to combine shipping.
Thank you again for your patronage! I appreciate your interest in my eBay listings! It is my policy to leave feedback upon hearing you've received your order safe & sound and that you are happy with your purchase. Most buyers advise me of this info by leaving their positive feedback. Once feedback is received, I will respond within 24 hours. Prior to leaving neutral or negative feedback, please be kind enough to give me the opportunity to address & resolve the issue. Thank you again!!
Should any item need to be returned due to the fact that the item did not match the entire listing description and all information provided as well as these important extra small print details, I will accept the return within 14 days from your receipt of the item and I will reimburse you for the price of the item only....no shipping charges will be refunded for the trip to your home or the trip back to me. The post office is the only one to benefit from the shipping fees. Also, the condition of the returned item will only be acceptable after my thorough inspection.
It must be received in the same condition as was described and pictured in the auction and in its original, unopened box or an opened box with all original materials.

2021 Shipping Notes:
Please note that E-bay's "Guaranteed delivery" date is not accurate anymore. With the current economic and health crises, the postal service is being overwhelmed with sh
ipping orders and not guaranteeing specific delivery dates and times. Most of my orders are arriving 5-6 business days instead of the usual 3-4 business days from the day I ship. This includes cross country orders.
Other shipments are taking 7+ days with their tracking system not being accurate. I only ship out First Class or Priority Mail with USPS. You, as the buyer, and I, as the seller, will only be informed of delivery schedules and delivery dates according to the tracking numbers.
