Items are sold as is, and the item is listed to the best of my knowledge, and testing capabilities. I may unintentionally miss something. I always work with any buyer, to ensure Mutual Satisfaction, and outstanding performance review.

Vintage and antique items are old, usually used, and should be expected to be in a used state of condition. I will describe items as accurately as possible and provide quality photographs.
My photographs are clear and close-up, which help you in making a sound decision in purchase.
Pictures are considered a part of the description.

If you have any questions, or would like to see more photos, please contact me I want you to be happy with your purchase from my shop.

Packaging and Shipping
All items are packed with care, to ensure a safe arrival. Bubble wrap, and extra padding is used to ensure cushion in the box. Most items are marked FRAGILE; unless otherwise requested by the buyer.
The item/s will be shipped to the address that is given to Etsy, which shows up on my end pre-filled. If you would like the item sent and addressed to another individual it is up to you to fill the information in with Etsy's website.

The buyer is responsible for providing a correct and current shipping address. Our shop is not responsible for lost packages if a wrong address is given. Please ensure the address given to Etsy is accurate and correct to ensure speedy delivery.

If an item is returned to me because delivery was attempted and notice was left for you to pick up at the post office and you did not do so after being notified, I will not refund shipping charges or pay to ship it again.

Please let me know right away if your purchase does not meet your expectations, is not as described, or does not arrive in the condition that you expected. I do not refund shipping costs, refunds can be negotiated on most items, once they are returned in the same condition as they were sent. I do not refund if an item is returned damaged or altered in any way.
Shipping to or from will not be refunded.
Buyer pays return postage.

If our shop feels a refund is necessary, a refund is for ITEM ONLY and is to be returned in original box and packaging. All items must be photographed if they arrived damaged, and all insurance information must be submitted and taken care of by the buyer with the postal service.

Insurance is FREE, and included with almost all items (included with all priority items sent).
If an insured item arrives damaged, the buyer is responsible for retaining the packaging, and the damaged item for insurance purposes. No refunds for damaged items will be made to the Buyer until the Buyer completes his/her part of the obligation in assisting to file the insurance claim. Please take photographs of the packaging and damaged piece as it will be needed for the claim.

Due to delays in the mail service-deliveries are no longer offered outside the US at this time.

I ship First Class International, as it is the most cost effective shipping (Additional shipping is offered, but up to the buyer).
Information included on the custom forms will be filled in per-Etsy's Policy. I do not mark items "Gift", on the custom forms.
I am not responsible for a package once it has left the United States. When the item leaves the United States, I will unfortunately have no information other than what Etsy provides to me and yourself, but I am happy to help if I can.
