SPECIAL NOTE TO FOREIGN BIDDERS:
|
| All statements about shipping cost refer only to the US. Outside the US, it becomes expensive to insure an
item for shipping. For this reason we specify two different shipping costs for foreign orders - normal airmail
which does not include insurance and insured airmail parcel post which does include insurance. There is very little
airmail lost, so it probably is not necessary to insure airmail for small shipments, but unless you specify and
pay for insurance, your package is sent without insurance at the buyer's risk. |
Please Note: The US post office has changed the rates and types of shipping available for all
countries.
All forms of surface mail have been eliminated outside the US. In addition the Airmail Parcel
Post has been combined with Global Priority Mail. All heavy packages must now go by Priority Mail International.
In addition we will ask all orders over about USD$100 be sent by insured priority mail.
Please Note: There has been major problems with PayPal recently.
All PayPal accounts MUST be verified. If you are in Canada or the UK,
your address must be
confirmed. PayPal will not confirm addresses outside these countries and the US. For this reason if you do not have
fairly high feedback, you may not be allowed to use PayPal for expensive items. We must take each case as a separate case.
This is taking us a lot of time. From the large blue box above the foreign box on the description page on eBay, please
remember that we reserve the right to ask for a "cash-like" payment if we have any concerns about the order. Orders
for persons who are registered in one country by eBay and asking for shipment will NOT be accepted for PayPal payment.
We are very sorry we must put a restriction on PayPal orders. Your order is very important to us. At least 25% of
our orders are currently from outside the US and the percentage is growing. PROBLEMS WITH PAYPAL ARE CAUSING US
AND OUR CUSTOMERS MAJOR PROBLEMS. We are VERY about this.

It has been the policy of our company to not make false customs declarations. This is a legal decision not a
moral one. Especially during the current world problems, customs officials are doing increased inspections and
issuing fines to shippers who make such false customs sheets.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO FALSIFY A CUSTOMS DECLARATION.
We can do any of the following if these help you:
1) Most of our products are made in China or Taiwan. We can state these are products of one of these.
2) We can issue invoice and address labels with a person's name instead of a company name. We own the company so
that is a legal way to bill. |
In the past most airmail would reach almost anywhere in the world within 7 days. During the current world problems,
there has been increased caution on packages sent outside the US on both sides of the shipment. While most packages
still are fast, some get tied up in customs at your end for several weeks. We cannot control this. We always send
you an email when we ship. Please wait at least 2 weeks after that date to email us to check on the shipment.
If you send us a request to check the item, please give the following: your eBay ID, the name you issued payment
under, and the eBay item number(s). It takes us a real long time to research who you are and what you ordered without
these. Please understand that we send out almost 100 items a week. We cannot remember all of them. |
| PayPal does not currently confirm addresses to most countries. Unconfirmed addresses carry no protection for
us, the seller. Please read the previous note at the bottom of our description. If you do not have a verified account
AND reasonable feedback, we may ask you to pay by Western Union's Auction Payments method or some other cash-like
payment. |
