================================
SHIPPING
NOTE: These large 32" dummies require a larger box to ensure arrival undamaged. We do not cram items into tiny boxes as many sellers who charge $5-$10 shipping do. YOU CANNOT SHIP ANYTHING WEIGHING MORE THAN 1 POUND ANYWHERE THESE DAYS FOR $5-$10.
The head will be wrapped separately to ensure it doesnt move enroute. Most sellers do not care about that. We do! The box will be approx 22x14x10. If you feel the shipping is expensive, it is. Feel free to contact the USPS, FedEx or UPS and ask them how much they charge for a box that size from 34770 to you. We do not profit from shipping. . Shipping stated as we are quoted. Shipping is based on box size, weight and distance. Larger box costs more to ship.
=========================================================================
STANDARD SHIPPING (TO CONTINENTAL 48 STATES ONLY) WILL BE USPS GROUND or UPS GROUND or FEDEX GROUND (My Choice)
Shipping includes full value insurance that is an additional $5-10 charge that the shipper adds on. Most sellers do not bother and if there is damage or the package is lost, YOU have to jump through hoops with the insurance claim and then try to get the balance (over the $100 insurance free with any package) from the seller. Fun!
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address for UPS or FedEx shipping. PO Box addresses will be shipped USPS Ground
Due to the high cost to ship large packages by USPS (they add a surcharge to all large packages), If your address is a PO Box, AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO please write BEFORE purchasing for an accurate USPS quote.
USPS PRIORITY MAIL: If you prefer USPS Priority Mail please write before offering or purchasing as I cannot modify shipping options after an offer or purchase. Be aware that USPS Priority is no longer a 2-3 days delivery is now estimated by the USPS as 3-8 days delivery (if you are lucky) UPS & FedEx Ground still delivers within 4-5 days coast to coast and usually for less than USPS Priority Mail.
HANDLING TIME: This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment. If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
DELIVERY DATE: This is an eBay generated date. It is NOT stated or guaranteed by the seller or the shipping service. It is an eBay ESTIMATE based on a 'Best Case' scenario. It does not take into consideration Time of Year (Holidays), Shippers Seasonal workload, Natural Disasters (Hurricanes, Wild Fires, Volcanic Eruptions, etc) or even a sneak attack by aliens from Mars. It is an ESTIMATE! It is NOT a set in stone, guaranteed delivery date and should not be considered the definite ‘WILL ARRIVE BY’ date.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING BY EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING SERVICE – For More Information Please write BEFORE purchasing
NOTE: Due to past experience
where some people require tracking confirmation to acknowledge they have
received every item shipped, I will no longer combine items.
EVERY ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITH ITS OWN
TRACKING NUMBER TO CONFIRM DELIVERY.
Thank You for your understanding.
================================
QUALITY PACKING / WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
(1) WE PACK PROFESSIONALLY AND WITH CARE!
(2) We only use NEW, unused boxes
(3) We only use NEW store bought packing material
(4) We DO NOT re-use boxes from someone’s garbage
(5) We DO NOT use airpacks
(6) We DO NOT use crumpled newspaper from someone's garbage as filler
(7) We tape ALL seems of the box, not just one strip of tape down the center on each side
Unrealistically Cheap or Free Shipping usually gets your item crammed into a tiny box or tossed into an empty box, unwrapped with little or no packing material If you have bought on eBay you know what I am saying is true!
IT IS YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY. REMEMBER, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
=========================NO RETURNS:
Due to the reason for the sale, and due to the fragile nature of this item, it is sold as NO RETURNS - You agree to those terms upon purchase.
This item will be shipped WITH insurance
If it arrives damaged or broken, please contact UPS or USPS as it was shipped with insurance and the shipper is responsible for any damage that occurs while they have the package.
Thank You For Your Interest
