SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED ON ALL PRODUCTS. NO QUESTION ASKED. I ENCOURAGE BUYERS TO LOOK AT ITEM THEMSELVES WHEN IN DOUBT TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO KEEP IT OR SEND BACK. RETURN POSTAGE IS PAID BY ME. RETURN POLICY: UP TO 14 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU WANT IT, DURING THAT TIME, RETURNS WELCOME WITHOUT QUESTION, BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU LETTING ME KNOW IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH PHOTOS, AD, OR DESCRIPTION SO I CAN CORRECT IT ON MY END. YOU CAN GO THROUGH “RETURN ITEM” ON EBAY OR JUST SEND ME A MESSAGE. I PAY FOR RETURN SHIPPING ON DOMESTIC ORDERS, BUT CAN’T DO SO ON INTERNATIONAL RETURN POSTAGE. MY PROFIT MARGIN IS SO LOW THAT PAYING POSTAGE ON INTERNATIONAL RETURNS WIPES OUT ANYTHING I EARN ON THAT ITEM AND THE NEXT SEVERAL I SELL. ALSO, THERE IS A GROUP OF BUYERS THAT HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SELLERS WILL REFUND MONEY RATHER THAN PAY FOR RETURN SHIPPING, AND QUITE AN OPERATION HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THIS. LET ME KNOW THOUGH, AND THERE IS USUALLY SOME WAY I MAKE IT FAIR FOR YOU. CERTAINLY ANY ERROR ON MY PART, I WILL MAKE RIGHT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I CAN MAKE RIGHT AND WILL DO SO. I BELIEVE IN SALES OVER THE INTERNET BEING EASILY RETURNABLE WITHOUT ADDED EXPENSE, BUT POSTAGE PRICES AND ABUSE MAKES ME UNABLE TO SAY I WILL PAY FOR RETURN IN EVERY CASE. ITEMS NOT RECEIVED: JUST LET ME KNOW, OR CHECK “ITEM NOT RECEIVED” ON EBAY, AND THERE ARE STEPS WE WALK THROUGH TO FIND IT. ALTHOUGH MY POST OFFICE WILL ON OCCASION NOT SCAN THE TRACKING NUMBER, OR LOSE THE ITEM, I WILL TAKE THE HIT FOR THOSE. FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, I WILL REFUND AMOUNT FOR LOST ITEMS UP TO THE POINT THE TRACKING SHOWS THEY LEAVE THE COUNTRY, THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PACKAGE AFTER THAT. IF YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE INDONESIA OR ANY OF THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHERE NO PACKAGES ARE EVER DELIVERED AND ARE STOLEN OR LOST, I’M NOT GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU COUNTRY’S PROBLEMS, AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU ORDER SOMETHING. I WILL PAY FOR RETURNS THOUGH, BECAUSE I’M JUST THAT KIND OF GUY. BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK: I have taken a lot of time and effort in putting together my listings for each of my products. Most of my orders, if not all, go out the next business day after I receive your order. If there is any discrepancy with the description or information in my listings, please contact me immediately. We do appreciate any information you could give us to better our description, shipping and delivery. PLEASE, PLEASE, REALIZE THAT NEGATIVE AND NEUTRAL FEEDBACK CARRIES A GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT AND CAN CAUSE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS FOR THE SELLER. IF I DESERVE A BAD FEEDBACK, I EMBRACE YOUR HONESTY, AND LEAVING A NEGATIVE OR NEUTRAL FEEDBACK IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO DO. I TURN FLIPS TO MAKE BUYERS HAPPY, SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, JUST LET ME KNOW AND I’LL MAKE IT RIGHT. I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT ITEMS IN PERSON AND SEND BACK IF THEY DON’T LIKE THEM COMBINED SHIPPING? ABSOLUTELY. PAY FOR SHIPPING ONCE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU BUY IS FREE SHIPPING. IF WE NEED ANOTHER PACKAGE YOU BOUGHT SO MUCH, I WILL PAY FOR THE NEXT ONE.
