The item(s) being purchased appear cosmetically sound unless otherwise stated in the description. The title will have *READ DESCRIPTION included for any item that is NOT cosmetically sound.

Will be shipped in a box.

There are multiple item photos provided in an attempt to show the unique colorway as it appears in real life.

If further item specifics are needed (ie, the size at the base, item height, materials, etc), please refer to the manufacturer's website for more information. Social media sites are also a good resource.

Please note, I commonly cross-post my listings. I do my very best to keep all of my sites up to date as sales occur.



**Kindly note, when I have more than one of an item, I reuse the pictures unless there is a defect or something like a damaged package. If this is not acceptable, please do not purchase this listing. I do not use AI or stock images - I take the time to photograph the actual items, but when dealing with literal thousands of items, it is not realistic to rephotograph and repost each one individually. Thank you for understanding.



FAQ:

Do I take offers?

- No - I do not take offers. My Ebay is not set up to take offers and this is intentional. There is too much messenger bullying if the price was not agreed to.

Do I make deals for multi-item purchases? 

- No - again, I do not take offers. The prices are as listed unless I change them or send out offers. I do, however, bundle shipping - please see the shipping section below.

Do I respond to individual messages like, "What's the lowest you will go?"

- No - As a general rule, I do not make deals via private message. Again, too much bullying AND it is not only time-consuming but also incredibly low-yield in terms of actual purchase being made.

Why do you charge over retail? 

- Sites like this take about 15% of each sale. Income tax of approximately 12-24% also needs to be paid during tax season. So nearly half of each sale's perceived "profit" is site fees and tax reporting - and that does not account for my item cost (which is usually the same as retail as I do not get wholesale pricing). Other costs to think about are rent of a storage unit, cost of shipping supplies, and/or time spent in listing creation. That being said, I kindly ask individuals to direct any pricing frustration toward the sites that charge fees and the tax collection agencies.

Why does my item have a different label/packaging from what is photographed?

- It is not uncommon for the manufacturer to update/change/alter the packaging over time. A change in the body wrap label color is an example of this. Also - there may be slight variation in the color/texture over time (prime example are the Owala Tied & True bottles from the first vs second release). That being said, I will not necessarily retake photos as the item itself has not changed. I will absolutely take pictures of defects and post in separate listings with *READ  DESCRIPTION in the title
Do I separate lids and bases if asked?
- No - I do not separate lids from bases on request. You can search my listings for any individual lids, straws, and/or bases that I may have for sale, as they would be listed individually.
Can I provide/include the purchase receipt?
- No, I will not provide my purchase receipt for an item, as it may be used to scam others.
Are the Owala, Stanley, BruMate, Simple Modern, etc items authentic? 
- Yes. The proof is in the pictures for each listing as well as my reviews. 



Notes about shipping:

- I typically ship same or next business day. 

- Please keep in mind that Ebay sets shipping rates, and I do not have control over Ebay prices. 

- Observed shipping rates via USPS Priority from Michigan to Texas, California, Washington, and/or Florida is close to or north of $20, even for a single bottle purchase.
- There should be 4 shipping options in each listing. The vast majority of the time, my default will be USPS Priority. 

- The buyer can switch to the USPS Ground Advantage option/rate at checkout as a more cost-effective option.
- I do bundle shipping if multiple items are purchased - my page is set to automatically perform "calculated shipping" for the buyer.

- If Ebay does glitch and is not doing "calculated shipping" at checkout, I combine the purchases under a single label after purchase, then refund the shipping overage.

- If expedited shipping is desired, this has to be paid for during checkout, I cannot send an "invoice" for accept payment outside of the purchase.

- If the buyer realizes the address is wrong after checkout, the buyer needs to send a cancellation request and repurchase the item with the correct address. I will not change it on my end. This is a recommendation from Ebay as this is often a request in an attempt to scam/claim shipment not received.

International Sales:

- There are at least two different costs that make up the total shipping price. One cost is shipping from my location to Ebay's international shipping hub. A second cost is for the item to travel from Ebay's international hub to the final destination. I cannot alter these costs. 

- Your package will show as "delivered" when it arrives at the international hub. Ebay then labels the package with the final destination's address.
- Once the item is received by Ebay, they then effectively become the "seller." That means EBAY ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING PACKAGE RELATED - damaged, missing, return requests.  Everything. My portion of safely packaging the item and shipping to the international hub is complete. 
- Again, I cannot alter international shipping costs. YOU as the buyer can try to see if changing between the USPS options and UPS options make a difference, but again, I cannot see or alter the second shipping cost which is the bulk of the shipping cost.
