It may take a week or so to reach you. Items over $30 will be sent by cheapest safe selection, which may include Priority Mail. Selection of packaging and shipping are seller?s choice. To save you money, I offer FREE SHIPPING under these terms. This means if you opt for the FREE SHIPPING selection, I will place it in either a flat poly envelope, a bubble envelope, or small box appropriate for the item (seller?s choice), to be sent to you via USPS cheapest service available. If you want expedited shipping, select USPS Priority Mail at your cost, which I may have discounted for you. USPS Priority Mail should arrive within 3 to 5 days of your order, while USPS 1st Class, ground, and media mail may take a week or more. I usually ship same or next day. PAYMENTS: I don?t want you to have problems with eCRATER, so please note that eCRATER policy requires that items be paid within 2 days of the sale. Any delay may result in an unpaid item claim being opened automatically after that point in time. The only exception is if you are purchasing multiple items from me and must wait for the other item(s) to close. Contact me immediately before or at the close of the first item to arrange combined or reduced shipping for multiple items. I do NOT consent to delayed payment unless it is due to an error by me. You will receive a notice of sale, then an invoice, then an unpaid item claim will be automatically opened. RETURNS AND REFUNDS: I accept returns for any reason. I want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase! I DOCUMENT ALL SHIPMENTS to avoid claims and fraud. Because I accept your returns, I do NOT issue ?partial refunds? for items, regardless of cost or value. If it is an item you are not completely satisfied with, there is no reason you would want to keep it, right? All items are to be returned if you are not satisfied, and I will help you through the process. If the item is returned used, altered, or damaged, I will issue only a partial refund (per eCRATER rules) once I have received and inspected it. If it is returned used, I reserve the option to report the transaction to eCRATER, which frowns upon that policy and enforces with negative marks and suspensions on buyers that abuse these policies. Items must be returned within 30 days (or less if stated in each individual listing?s policies ? check for changes on my listing?s policy below price and shipping info). It must be in the same condition as when sent (if damaged during shipping, a claim must be started with the shipper/insurer), tags attached if shipped with tags, any product packaging it came in, and any bonus or freebie that was included with your purchase. Actual shipping cost will be deducted from the refund, unless it?s my mistake. Your returned item will be checked against documented pictures at time of shipping. I have a proven track record of accurate listing descriptions and pictures, as well as timely shipping! If you must return your purchase, go to Purchase History>Select Return This Item>Select Reason to see your refund amount>Let eCRATER print your Return Shipping Label (this comes with auto tracking) or send me tracking info>Pack it carefully, include any paperwork or packaging>Attach shipping label>Send back within 5 days of start of refund (per eCRATER rules)>Take to post office or hand to your carrier. Once I receive your item back, you qualify for 10% off the purchase of one of my other items. SALES TAX: Don?t forget that as with all eCRATER sellers, sales tax may be added to your final invoice by eCRATER on behalf of your state. This is from government requirements and eCRATER policies, not seller profit. This tax is collected by eCRATER and paid to the states that require collection. Taxes may be collected on things you may normally not pay taxes on due to eCRATER?s practices. If you are annoyed about the collection of sales tax on ?used? items, please keep in mind that if your state collects sales tax, it may also be collected on used items at thrift shops and antique stores. Please contact eCRATER or your government officials about this topic. DESCRIPTIONS AND PICTURES: Be assured that I do my best to provide appropriate and relevant information on all my products including condition, flaws, and variations; however, you should pay close attention to pictures for anything I may have missed. Pictures are incorporated and are part of this description. Ask questions or ask for pictures of specific concerns you have before looking or buying. Items are documented in pictures prior to shipping to assure they reach you as represented in my products. LISTING DETAILS: To clarify things for you, here are a few general things you must know before purchasing any items from me: Apparel may have creases, folds, or wrinkles not seen in pictures. Pictures are included as part of this item?s description. View them carefully. Unless listed as NEW, this item is pre-owned. Items MAY come in original packaging. Unless stated in the description above, do not assume it will. Everyone's perception of condition can vary. Statements made about condition are only my opinion. I include pictures of item(s) I have on hand unless noted in the listing. If I have multiples of the same item, picture may be representative of what I have, but you might not get the one pictured. Items are not ?graded? and are listed in accordance with eCRATER guidelines. Color perception may be different due to monitor or phone variations. This item will be sold as is. My home is free of pests and smoking, with NO cigarette or pot smoke or odor. This is a home with cats, although I process items in a room designated as my office to be away from them. Listed items are stored in totes and boxes to protect them while waiting to be sent to you. NEW & SEALED ITEMS: Everyone loves NEW stuff! If I list something as New, NIP, NIB, NWT, NWOT, etc., it is an item that may be vintage or preowned, but is still new, unused, or displayed only, sent in original packaging. If I indicate it is new and SEALED, or in original unopened packaging, I am not selling it as a functional item, it is sold as a non-functioning factory sealed ?collector?s? item, regardless of usability. In other words, once the seal is broken, it is now considered ?ALTERED? under eCRATER?s user guidelines. Terminology: New in Package, New in Box, New With Tags, and New WithOut Tags. REPAIR & CLEANING: To protect your purchase, I do not usually clean or repair items because I am not a professional, but will try to clean some items. Improper cleaning or repairs can cause damage and reduce the value of items, or mask an issue you should know about. I will disclose all issues I see, but am not responsible for anything that escapes my notice, or any parts that are not authentic or proper. Be aware that there may be dust, dirt, or other substance on or in the item. ABOUT SHIPPING: I want you to be happy, so as default for most items, your item will usually be sent via US Postal Service as my default service WITH Tracking to assure you get the item unless you select another carrier. I like to use Priority Mail so it reaches you fast, but may give you options for UPS or FedEx when you purchase. Books and media can be sent via USPS Media Mail rates (or by cheapest rate available), which takes much longer to reach you. You MUST SELECT media mail to get that rate. I may choose to upgrade shipping from your selection at no additional charge. Please do not negotiate or ask to change shipping after purchase. The answer is ?No.? I also DO NOT ship to Mail Boxes unless you see that option in the listing, and charge more for mail to Hawaii and Alaska due to additional cost. Quick shipping for you! Your order ships within 2 days from payment, or sometimes same or next day! I usually pack to ship the same day or the day following your order and arrange for pi
