SHIPPING
Shipping: All packages will be sent USPS Priority
Mail - Delivery Confirmation. If you prefer not to check with me to calculate
the charges for you, shipping is 20%, but, the minimum shipping charge will
be $7.25. I don't normally ship via Fedex or UPS. Please indicate if you
need your package shipped that way for me to calculate shipping.
Returns and exchanges: There will be a 20% restocking
charge for anything returned. The only exception being something exchanged
for the same item in a different size. If there are signs of disassembly
or otherwise worked over to find out how they're made there will not be
a refund. The designs are not copyrightable, but I have very lousy feelings
for anyone who uses one of my items to copy it, and then doesn't have the
courtesy to pay for the original. Also, shipping is non-refundable. If you
return an item even for size, please note that you will be charged shipping
on the replacement item I send you and you will be credited for returning
the original item.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Terms are Cash, Check, Money Order or PayPal unless
other arrangements have been made at the time of the order. Checks and Money
Orders must clear my bank before any order is shipped. For all orders out-of-country,
please contact me for shipping amounts and to discuss delivery options.
Large or multi-piece orders - A deposit of half
of the total amount will be required at the time of the order.
Current sales tax licenses I have are: Virginia
residents, add 5.3% and Maryland 6.0%
