SHIPPING & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Payment must be received within 7 days of the end of the auction (unless other arrangements are made) or the results of the auction may be voided. I estimate the total shipping weight when listing my items. If I have unintentionally over-estimated the weight and the cost to ship is less than expected, I can refund the difference to the bid winner if contacted once the item arrives. When possible, I will combine on shipping at end of auctions for multiple won items. PLEASE READ! I only ship on week-ends due to my work schedule. I will ship the item on the week-end following payment if payment is received on or before the Thursday prior to the week-end. (Friday is often too late for me to get the item ready for shipping on Saturday.)
