ORDER PROCESSING/PAYMENT POLICY: After you submit your order, you will receive a computer-generated confirmation that your order was placed. If there are extra shipping, handling or other charges for your order, we will let you know the amount when the order is confirmed.

  • If you are a US buyer paying by check or money order, your order will be held for seven (7) days. If payment is not received within that time, the hold will be removed from the item(s) and they will be returned to stock.

  • NON USA CUSTOMERS: checks or money orders WILL NOT be accepted.
  • NON US CUSTOMERS: We DO NOT ACCEPT Credit card payments from non US buyers, as the credit card companies do not share information. We will ONLY accept orders via Paypal, and ONLY from VERIFIED accounts, as that is required to be covered under Paypal Buyer and Sellers Protection Policy or my credit card through your Amazon account. Our 3rd party shipping insurance will not cover the transaction if it has not first met Paypal's requirements, so we won't accept NON VERIFIED Paypal payments. Our apologies about that.  

  • If your Paypal account is NOT a VERIFIED account and you pay us, your payment will be refunded but we will keep a 3% fee to cover the fee Paypal will levy on our refund to you.
The sooner the credit card companies around the world cooperate, the better for all of us.

International shipments will take longer and be dependent on shipping method selection and the time customs and the postal service takes to deliver which we are not responsible for.

Several, but not all, international shipping methods are available at time of purchase. First class international must be requested, as there are weight, dimension and value exclusions.
