Merchandise paid by personal check may be held for (10) business days until such funds clear. SHIPPING: All of our books are very carefully wrapped and packaged, and are only shipped in well-padded boxes.We never use flimsy mailers. We do not charge for handling. We strive to ship within a day or two of payment received, however there are occasions when unforeseen situations may arise, thus delaying shipment for an extra day or two. This rarely happens. All merchandise shipped within the United States will be shipped via FedEx Ground, insured, unless otherwise stated. FedEx does not ship to p.o. boxes, and so any shipment to a p.o. box will be sent via USPS media mail. Overseas shipments will be sent either USPS Express Mail or Priority Mail International. International surface mail is no longer offered. Combined shipping is always available. *IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE 9/2008: Since ebay has recently changed their shipping criteria, we have had to make adjustments as well. All of our domestic shipments will be automatically UPGRADED from UNINSURED PARCEL POST MAIL to FULLY INSURED FEDEX GROUND SHIPPING. So although the shipping calculator shows USPS Parcel Post, you will be receiving your package via FedEx Ground. However if a po box address is provided, the shipment will be sent Parcel Post since FedEx will only deliver to street addresses. RETURNS: All items are described as accurately and in as much detail as possible to the best of our knowledge and ability. However, catalog descriptions are to some extent interpretive. Please be sure to read the ENTIRE description, and be sure to view the photos, as they are also considered part of the description. If any merchandise is found to be substantially at odds with the condition as described, or if upon collation the items are found defective in text or illustrations, or if an autograph, photo, graphic, binding, or content can be proven not genuine, than it may be returned for a full refund, providing said merchandise is shipped within (10) days of receipt.
