Refunds and Returns and Shipping
Because a lot of our items are Second Hand, refunds due to quality or defects will be issued on a case by case basis. If you are unsatisfied with the quality, please never hesitate to contact us! We are collectors ourselves and understand the disappointment when an item isn't as you hoped. We never want our customers to feel that way. Contact us and we'll do our best to make things right.
We ship USPS First Class Package up to 15 Ounces. Anything over 15 ozs will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground.
Free Shipping Promos apply to the lowest offered shipping rate. Only packages OVER 16 ounces will be offered Free USPS Priority Shipping. Any packages under 16 ounces will be shipped First Class Package even if Priority is chosen at checkout when using a Free Shipping Discount Code.
