I gratefully accept PayPal, money orders and personal checks. I appreciate receiving payment within seven (7) days of e-mail receipt of the invoice. I ship upon notice of payment by PayPal or receipt of money order, or after personal check clears my bank, but in no event later than on the following business day. I normally ship by USPS Priority Mail within the US and by USPS Priority Mail International to international destinations.  Regarding S & H, I never charge “handling fees”. I only charge actual postage and tracking fees, plus actual charges for insurance coverage in the amount of the final sale price (rounded to next available bracket). With the best of intentions and total integrity in invoicing, there are sometimes differences between the actual S & H charges and the amounts previously invoiced (usually small and owing to extra insulation). I routinely absorb any undercharges as part of my cost. If I overcharge and the amount is significant in relation to total S & H, I notify the customer and offer to refund the S & H overcharge.   Communications I advise my buyer by e-mail at every step of the transaction, starting with the comments section of the invoice. I acknowledge receipt of the notification of payment by PayPal (or receipt of mailed check/money order) and advise the exact shipping date. I send a confirming e-mail with the shipping and tracking information on the day of the parcel’s dispatch. That’s my duty and responsibility as seller, but it’s also my privilege and pleasure. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail me with any of your questions and expect a prompt reply. I appreciate questions from potential customers and answer them forthrightly, timely and courteously. I encourage inquiries during the bid period regarding estimated S & H charges to specified zip codes in the US or to international country destinations. I provide estimated shipping quotes and stand behind them.   Customer Care I greatly value your potential patronage and will at all times strive to meet or exceed your expectations in all aspects of any transaction.  My policy on returns/refunds is guided by my commitment to total customer satisfaction: although I do not expect it in the normal course, if, upon receipt, you have any concerns at all about the item you purchased, please notify me immediately. First, I ask no questions in those rare cases when a customer so notifies me, and, secondly, I strictly and timely do exactly what my customer directs me to do. This could result in a partial refund in an amount mutually agreed to, with the customer keeping the item. If the customer does not want to receive a partial refund, I offer to make a complete refund of the full invoiced amount (sale price, plus S & H) upon return of the item.     Thank you for your interest & bid with total confidence.
