TERMS OF SALE
Our listings usually consist of vintage, antique or used items. We do not list a lot of "Mint", "Near Mint" or "Like New" condition items and do not use those terms in descriptions very often. We usually describe items as being in "excellent", "good" or "fair" condition with as definitive a description of flaws as we can make. With this in mind; we must state that "ALL SALES ARE FINAL - RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED". We encourage and strongly recommend buyers e-mail questions prior to bidding.
If you will be paying for your item with a Money Order or Cashier's Check ; PLEASE let us know the payment has been mailed. This prevents our sending those "pesky" e-mails requesting payment. We will be using a Pay Pal Request for Money Invoice Format in the event you may wish to pay for your item with your credit card or from your Pay Pal Account. The Invoice will also permit you to pay with a Money Order or Cashiers Check. Please make all Money Orders or Cashier's Checks payable to LORNE LISTER.
SHIPPING
We ship all "breakable" items utilizing USPS Priority Mail with a Delivery Confirmation. We DO NOT use UPS or FEDEX. We also do not utilize Parcel Post for breakable items. Please do not ask for those services. If you wish to Insure your item(s); USPS Insurance is $1.70 up to $50.00. It will be on our Invoice; please wait for the Invoice.
We package items carefully; however, we can make no guarantees concerning the handling of your package once it leaves our hands. We CANNOT and WILL NOT be responsible for uninsured items damaged in shipping. If your Insured item gets damaged, contact us immediately and we will send the Insurance receipt. Damaged Insured Items should be kept as delivered until taken to the Post Office to file a claim. They want to see it as it was delivered. If an UNINSURED item is received damaged; we suggest you immediately contact the Postmaster and deliver it to him/her exactly as received including all of our packaging material. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do if YOU FAIL TO INSURE THE ITEM.
Please remember that Shipping does not involve only the cost of Postage. Midstate Collectibles applies a handling charge to cover the cost of packing supplies (We do not pack your Collectibles/Pottery/Glassware in newspapers.) and the cost of accepting your Credit Card or other payment through Pay Pal. Shipping and Handling are not a negotiable item.
If you purchase multiple items, we will combine shipping where possible; however, we do not ship Pottery and Glassware in packages that weigh more than 5-6 pounds as you are asking for the box to be dropped by someone - somewhere. This is a hard and fast rule of our and we will not alter it. A Dropped Priority Mail Box is a damaged item no matter how well we wrap items contained therein. With that in mind; please understand that if you win multiple auctions and we advise that the items must be shipped in more than one box; it is merely to ensure that your items get to you in one piece.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Payment by Pay Pal or Google Checkout is preferred. Money Order, Cashier's Check MUST BE MADE PAYABLE to Lorne Lister (not Midstate Collectibles) please.

Money Orders/Cahier's Checks made payable to Midstate Collectibles will be returned to the buyer. Our mailing address for Money Orders/Cashier's Checks is 16088 S. E. 14th Street, Ocklawaha, FL 32179. If you are mailing payment please advise by email date check mailed/will be be mailed. Thanks.
