Purchasing:

Please understand that most of our offerings are one-of-a-kind items.  We will mark items sold as quickly as possible!  However, in the event you purchase an item that has been previously sold, we will notify you by email and promptly issue a full refund.  As of yet our inventory control is not automated.  Thank you in advance for your patience as we continually strive to update our system.

Payment:

All major Credit Cards and even E-Checks are accepted via Pay Pal, our only form of payment. The following link is provided in case you are not familiar with this secure service  www.paypal.com.  Due to the time restraints associated with Snail Mail, presently we do not accept personal or business Checks and/or Money Orders for payment.  When you click on the Add-to-Cart button it will take you to the Pay Pal site where you can pay with most Major Credit Cards.  It is not necessary to have a Pay Pal Account to complete your payment.

At no time will your personal information be shared to any third party vendor.

Shipping:

We will strive to find the most economical way to ship your purchase.  Due to the recent changes in size and weight restrictions at USPS, combining some items may not be possible for added savings.  In most cases your purchase will be shipped within 72 hours by Priority Mail, UPS or FedEx Ground and with optional insurance. Larger items may be shipped via DHL.  We do not ship on weekends or Holidays.  If you have a special need or requirement, please contact us prior to making a purchase.

Shipping, Handling and Insurance charges apply to the Continental US ONLY (Alaska and Hawaii are higher).  Currently, we do not ship overseas.

Returns:

We try and describe all of our offerings accurately and include any noticeable flaws or imperfections in the description.  Many of our vintage finds are one-of-a-kind items, so please expect some gentle imperfections.  Please take note that all Sales are Final and no refunds will be made. 

If your purchase arrives damaged from the Shipper, please contact us within 48 hours.  Be sure to keep all original packaging materials including the box.
