FINE DETAILS: All sizes are USA Standard. All items are from a smoke-free household but I have two cats so keep this in mind if you have allergies. Regarding the current shipping climate - items may take substantially longer to arrive at their final destinations and seem to be taking unnecessary trips around the entire country before landing in the proper mailboxes. I always keep my buyers informed and up to date so there are no surprises. I thank all of my customers for their patience and understanding as we work through this difficult time.
When alternatives are offered, please choose the best shipping method for your location.
I often reuse and recycle packing materials and I don't print invoices. Your package might not look beautiful on the outside but I guarantee it will be adequate and safely packed.
I offer combined shipping on multiple purchases. Please inquire or request an updated invoice at the end of the auction or before you Buy-it-Now.
