this product listing was generated by an AI and human collaborative effort which means that a great deal of effort has been taken in order to strike a balance between accuracy, efficiency on my (hi this is the actual seller writing this long before I even decided to list this item my name is Graham/Icychip feel free to message me, you will always get a response from me!) part and overall quality of the listing. In order to avoid having the AI just babble at you I have given it very specific instructions and if anything it says contradicts what you are seeing in the photos and it is relevant to the sale of the item please click on the "message buyer" button and you will be responded to as soon as I check my phone. With regards to the quality and cost of the products that I sell I am committed to providing customers in Canada with the best product at the best price. For my global customers I am at a difficult impasse where shipping, tracking, tariffs and fees have become a huge barrier to me andI am enrolled in eBay's International shopping program where I ship the product to eBay where they verify that the product is as described and then they take over. I cannot comment on the packaging, condition at arrival for my foreign customers. If you are a Canadian I am the person to contact if there is an issue, if you are from somewhere else in the world once eBay has Recieved the item and verified it is as described in the listing they (eBay customer service) are the ones to contact. Ultimately, to my foreign customers I am sorry you really should move to Canada. I do local pickups and you can skip the shipping headaches altogether... As for shipping I have already learned my lesson about not doing my due diligence when shipping an item that sold for less money than I hoped it would... Whether you are paying me peanuts for an elephant or elephants for my peanuts I will always do my very best to ensure that your item reaches you in one piece. I aim to strike a balance between protecting the item, your experience of unboxing and my cost/time. For international customers eBay offers a customer satisfaction guarantee and for Canadian customers I personally am happy to offer a 30 day full refund on anything I sell in my store.
