Thank you for checking out my
items.  I
do my best to represent items accurately and am happy to answer any additional questions.  However, I sell many different kinds of items, and often I am not an expert, and I do make honest mistakes.
I try to mention in the listing if I do not know much about the item. I
try to offer items at a fair price and handle business professionally and honestly.  Most items are estate sale items and sometimes require some clean up.  I
usually list them just the way they come from the auctions. This is a second job for me with my primary job being teaching elementary school. I do not spend a lot of extra time cleaning up the items and my starting and buy it now prices reflect that and are reasonable. Many of my items come from auctions as I also work for my dad who has an auction business. Beings this is not my primary job, I appreciate your understanding if I do not return an e-mail immediately.
Any problems, let me know, and we can try and work things out. Any questions about shipping items together to save on shipping, just ask!  I am happy to combine shipping.
SHIPPING:
We usually are able to ship purchases out within two days after payment; however, five days would be the maximum time for handling.  We are located in western Nebraska, zip:  69337; so often postage is higher to either coast and sometimes slow! I take extra care in packing items to arrive safely.  See recent message from a customer below:
Message from happy customer:  Dear 5grant22,
Hi Deedra', Mug/glass arrived safely thanks to your wonderful secure packing. The Box was crushed on one side and we were afraid it had been broken. We are very happy with the item and hope to buy from you again.

If your package arrives damaged for some reason, please send me photographs so we can work something out.  I will let you know if I plan to file an insurance claim.  If so, please retain the item and the box and packing material because if I file an insurance claim, USPS may ask to have it brought to the post office for examination.  They make it quite difficult to collect insurance.
I am very creative with my packaging material.  I reuse boxes and packing materials.  I received feedback once saying that the packaging was trashy because the small item was packaged in a macaroni box.  I call that thrifty.  If you are offended that I do not spend money on expensive packaging materials, shop elsewhere!  I pack things very well--but sometimes with unusual materials such as styrofoam cups to protect handles and knobs and so on.  I’m just a school teacher trying to make a living.
PAYMENTS:
Payment is expected within 3 days of the close of auction or within 24 hours when using a Buy it Now option.
RETURNS:
I do not accept returns unless there is an unusual circumstance, and then we can work something out.  It is easier for me to manage since this is not my only job. However, I will work with you if need be.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:   Most of my items are set up on the global shipping program, and you deal with them for shipping.  I prefer the global shipping because shipping direct causes me some income tax issues. However, I understand the global shipping is often difficult for international buyers also, so it may be possible to ship direct in many cases.  But you must contact me prior to bidding or purchasing the item. Please do not request direct shipping on items less than .00.  If shipped directly, please note that shipping costs do not reflect any additional taxes, tariffs or customs fees imposed by receiving countries.  These are in addition to and the responsibility of the buyer.  Please check with your customs office for a list of these fees.  I do charge a handling fee of .00 over the actual cost of shipping for international shipping.  I will invoice you upon purchase.  Thank you.
