I am not a full time seller nor am I a corporation with a call center. I do not devote 100% of my life to online sales. I am a real person with a full time job, a family, friends and puppies to raise. I love to treasure hunt and enjoy selling my finds to folks who have the same likes that I do. I do my best to list correctly and ship in a timely manner. I try very hard to treat people as I would want to be treated. if this works for you then fantastic. if you have other expectations, then I may not be the seller for you.*** please scope out the rest of the items in my store. I would be happy to "bundle" items & combine shipping costs as long as the box does not become too big & heavy. big, heavy boxes of fragile things can be dangerous when shipping.**** I do not accept returns unless a mistake is made in my listing. I do try to be thorough in my listings but mistakes do happen. if you do find something I missed, please contact me within 24 hours of receiving your purchase. also, please include pictures of the area you are concerned about. communication makes it easier for both of us to come to an agreement we are both are happy with. I am committed to doing my best in these tricky situations. this is supposed to be fun, for all of us.*****i absolutely use recycled shipping items. bubble wrap, boxes, styrofoam, packing peanuts and newspapers are not cheap and i do not charge a handling fee to cover those costs. i reuse, repurpose and recycle shipping products whenever i can. recycling shipping products is a great way to keep my costs down and help the environment.
