Item Description:

 

This listing is for one vintage antique Oder Oma handmade wooden cigar box in super nice original condition.

 

Collecting decorated and novelty cigar boxes is an increasingly popular hobby in both Europe and North America. Trimmed nailed wood boxes with interesting labels, novelty boxes in unusual shapes and printed tin boxes are the most popular.  Salesmen’s samples, vanity labels, and various themes such as sports, medicine, politics or pretty girls are frequently objects of collector’s attention. A handful of 19th century boxes have sold in excess of $1,000.

 

The main considerations to purchasing an antique cigar box is the condition of the inner label and the structural integrity of the entire box – both of which are extremely nice for this particular cigar box.  Other factors to evaluate cigar boxes are considering the actual age, label image, era, and rarity.

 

This item comes from a long time collector who is currently liquidating some personal items from inventory in which they have owned for several years.  This particular collector has spent a lifetime collecting diverse items such as cast metal banks, cigar boxes, and other things of historic interest, etc, and has always stored such items in a curio-type display cabinet free from dust, sunlight or other elements.

 

The inside of this cigar box is neatly lined with white paper and has a few dirty areas throughout. The outside edges and corners are also lined with blue and white decorative paper that reads "Hand Made."   The outside box corners show a little wear, but overall condition is super nice considering its age.  The lid of the box fits nicely and securely shuts without any hang-ups.  This box is original and authentic and has not been cleaned or altered in any way.

 

Good old collectible, retro, vintage and often times rare cigar boxes would be a special touch to anyone's collection of "oldie but goodie" items!

 

There is a stamping on the bottom of this box that reads:

 

  • Factory No 220 District 50
  • State of Illinois
  • Notice - The manufacturers of the Cigars herein contained have complied with all the requirements of Law - Ever person is cautioned not to use either this box for cigars again or the stamp there as again not to remove the contents of this bar without destroying said stamp under the penalties provided by Law in such cases.  The cigars herein contained were manufactured to retail at more than 6 cents each and not more than 9 cents each and are so tax paid. (There is a line drawn partially through this line, so it is a bit hard to read the pricing per cigar, but am pretty certain that what I quoted is correct.)
  • There is also a top portion of a tag of the bottom of the box that was removed that reads:
    • Oder Cigar Factory
    • 123 West Main
    • Danville, Illinois

 

The name "Mr. Edwards" is written in pencil on the left top lid area, I suppose giving the box a bit more personal character.

 

The dimensions of this cigar box are:

 

  • 8.5 inches long
  • 5.5 inches wide
  • 2.5 inches tall

This size of cigar box normally would hold 50 cigars.

 

Serious collectors pay high prices for historic, unique and significant items in top condition. Very old and rare pieces are often fought over in the market place.

 

For two centuries, every time someone heard the phrase “cigar box” a vision of a wood rectangle covered with paper labels popped into their head. It should, because hundreds of millions of boxes like that have been made. They’re descriptively called “nailed wood boxes” by the people who make them. They were manufactured in an almost endless variety of shapes and sizes from barely over one inch to more than two feet wide.

 

Nailed Wood boxes are usually made from six pieces of wood: a top, a bottom, a front and back, and two end pieces nailed with fourteen nails, four in each end and six in the bottom. The lid is hinged by a strip of muslin glued to the top and back. The hinge and joints where pieces of wood meet are usually covered with a strip of paper called edging. Nailed wood boxes have changed only once in nearly 200 years. Until the 1880’s lids rested on all four sides of a box, which allowed lids of the 1870’s to twist off, a fact lamented by today’s collectors. Box men redesigned lids so that they rested on the front and back, but were inset between the two ends, thus preventing twist. The two types of lid are today called ‘overall lids” and “inset lids.”

 

When a customer tells a box maker he wants a “trimmed box” he is saying shorthand for:

 

“The entire box is to be edged with inch wide paper strips, the inside of the lid has a paper label, the sides and bottom are lined with paper, and various tags, flaps, banners and price stickers are attached as needed. The outside top of the lid is to be branded or labeled, the front may be imprinted with the name given that size and shape of cigar, and all proper legal notices are attached or printed on the box.”

 

You can see why people shortened it to “trimmed.”

 

Most trim was pasted on by the box maker. The cigar factory also added trim to boxes, putting on the outer label, color mark (on one end), nail tag, and revenue stamp. Sizes, shapes, colors and placement of trim has changed only slightly over time.

 

Trim

 

Trim is the name given by the box industry to all the labels and markings applied in one way or another to a cigar box. Some trim is applied by the box maker and other trim is pasted or stamped by the cigar factory after the box is packed full of cigars. A few pieces of trim may be applied by either.

 

Most trim is optional. Some is required by law.

 

The major lithographers offered catalogs of stock images. More than 250,000 images have been reported, covering every possible theme: pretty girls, famous men, celebrities, animals, local scenes and events...if it could be imagined and drawn, it became a cigar label.

 

The Nailed Wood box dominated the cigar industry until rising costs after WWII encouraged the use of cardboard boxes.

 

Cigar Boxes

 

Cigar boxes are containers in which cigars are retailed in contrast with decorative wooden after-market boxes called humidors sold empty by tobacconists and department stores, artisans and specialty shops to enable smokers to store cigars on a desktop.

 

The classic form of cigar packaging, made from a variety of woods such as Cuban and Honduran mahogany, redwood, basswood, and more than twenty other rare and common woods. Cigar companies, box makers and collectors classify wooden cigar boxes as:

 

  • trimmed nailed wood,
  • nailed wood with hardware
  • boite nature
  • semi-boite nature
  • chests and cabinets
  • uprights
  • ovelties or custom work.  

Boxes have been made of dozens of different woods, tin, aluminum, brass, silver plate, glass, plastic, cardboard, and other materials.

 

Boxes are normally made to hold 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 cigars, though a few other sizes are permitted. They are often richly decorated. Nineteenth century cigar factories, large and small, frequently assembled their own boxes, often the task of children in a family enterprise. .

 

There are two kinds of cigar boxes: wood and everything else. Between 1800 and 1960 around 80% of all cigar boxes were made of wood. That amounts to somewhere around 8,000,000,000 (a reasonable estimate) wooden cigar boxes.

 

Another 2,000,000,000 cigar “boxes” were made of cardboard, tin, glass, plastic, tin foil, aluminum, pewter, brass, china, ceramics, silverplate and palm leaves.

 

It wasn’t until the Revenue Act of 1864 that all cigars were required to be packed in boxes, and in 1865, President Lincoln enacted a law that required they be packed in bundles of 25, 50, 100, or 250. Shortly thereafter, cigars became cheaper and more available, and many of the boxes that they came in are considered collectible items in today’s market.

 

Perfect as a humidor, gun box, mailbox or anything else you can think of.  Most of all, a great conversation piece as it proudly displays in your collection.

 

Almost everybody had their treasures or some of their personal items stashed away in an old cigar box. And you have to admit, seeing an old cigar box always causes a rush of nostalgic memories.

 

The forced close relationships of people from the past, and the limited space for the families living together- often in one room, necessitated proper identification of each personal item, so many people used cigar boxes to store their small belongings of shaving gear, toiletries and many times precious jewelry.

 

What?  You have read all the way down to here and still have not clicked the Buy-It-Now button.  Why not?  What are you waiting for?  Better refresh this page because someone else may have started reading before you and already bought this.   1

 

USE BUY IT NOW  to ensure you get this item!  Not long ago, after allowing myself to get distracted by something else, I clicked the Buy-It-Now button on a listing, only to discover it had already sold!  Lesson learned!

 

The downside of “Watch this item”

Often, I hear from people hoping I had another one to list and saddened because they had added my item to their watch list while they were waiting for another auction to end (thinking that for some reason the rest of the world missed what they thought was going to be a bargain) only to be disappointed again in the end when the other item bid up in the last few minutes as often happens and sold for far more than they could have bought mine with buy-it-now a week ago.

 

Unfortunately for them, the only one I had was sold days earlier and the new owner had already received it by then (since I usually ship same day - read some of the comments in the feedback buyers have posted for us).  You will notice in our feedback that many buyers are proud of their wise decision to secure their purchase and receive their item right away through buy-it-now.

 

If you are like me when I want to buy something, I want it NOW - not “6d 17h” from now, and then only IF I win some auction days in the future.  My time is far too valuable to spend searching for a potentially slightly better deal or waiting for auction after auction to end, having to inquire as to incomplete details in multiple listings, or evaluate multiple sellers’ feedback.  When I find a fair price from a reputable seller who charges just the actual cost of shipping and will ship same day, I use his Buy-It-Now immediately, because life is too short to dink around.

 

Don't just be a watcher.  Get in the game, make me an offer, make my day - No reasonable offer refused.

Information to Consider Before Your Purchase

 

About Us:   We are not dealers, just a husband and wife clearing out an accumulation of “spare stuff” for the first time after 40 years together.  As eBay buyers ourselves , we avoid listings with vague details or incomplete descriptions and knowing that any other wise buyer will do the same.  We offer an honest and accurate description of all items (most of which we bought new) to the best of our ability, including our own original digital pictures of the actual item you will receive.  We strive to provide you the same information we would want to know if we were the buyer.  If we have missed something in the description that you would like to know, please ask and we will be glad to accommodate.  All items are in our possession, will be packaged very well for shipping, will ship immediately after payment clears, and arrive exactly as described in the listing.

 

Buy with Confidence:   By participating in one of our listings, you have the confidence that your transaction from start to finish will be a smooth flawless one.  One big advantage of buying from us is that you have the opportunity to check out our long positive eBay feedback record and other background information through our websites to get to know us in advance, rather than being stuck with gambling on trusting an anonymous trading partner (often in an undisclosed location, with inaccessible contact information, or contact phone number).   We have had the same eBay username and verified I.D. since 1998 with more than 2,200 positive eBay feedbacks earned through flawless transactions, same physical address since 1973, same bank account number and telephone number since 1977, same business location and spouse since 1979.

 

Our Reputation:   As full-time self-employed small business owners since 1979, having successfully completed thousands of long-distance high-dollar transactions from a bricks & mortar location with customers worldwide since long before the Internet came along, we understand the importance of accessibility, clear communication, and the concerns buyers face.  We have always been richly rewarded by our repeat customers since we know that if we do it right, they will tell two friends, but do it wrong and they will tell everybody!   It takes a lifetime to earn an impeccable reputation like ours and we know that it only takes a moment to destroy it.  This is why we have always dealt with our customers the way we would want to be treated.  Naturally, we have applied these same principals to every Internet transaction since we came online in March 1998.

 

Our References:   We are always willing to supply credible references that are easily VERIFIABLE through local business, government, and law enforcement upon request.  We hope you will start with viewing our outstanding feedback record.  With our eBay accounts combined, more than 4,249 satisfied people have already voluntarily taken the time to leave feedback for us, 100% of which is positive.  Since statistically only about a third take the time to leave feedback, it is safe to assume that there are easily another 8,498 people (12,747 total) who are just as satisfied but did not take the time to post feedback.  Believe me, unhappy people will almost always leave negative or neutral feedback, of which we have almost none, for good reason.

 

Questions:   Although we do our very best to provide the most complete information possible in the description of every item that we list, we are not experts on every item we have for sale, and cannot possibly presume your knowledge level or familiarity with the specific item listed or anticipate your needs or intended use for the item, so we cannot be responsible for any questions that you may not have resolved to your satisfaction BEFORE you purchase from us.  To eliminate any possible misunderstanding, please do not assume or take for granted anything not specifically stated in the listing description.  If you have questions, you can phone us at 217 762 3999 (home/shop phone - land-line - has no way to receive text), or you can simply go to the eBay “Contact Seller ” link in the “Seller Information ” box on upper right corner of this page.  We will reply as promptly as possible.

 

Terms:   While we are a private party selling our own personal property, where applicable, the terms of this transaction shall be in strict accordance with the Sales Information & Policies we established in 1979 for our business and as stated herein.  Unless otherwise expressly and explicitly stated, all items are sold in untested used condition having wear, tear, and/or deterioration, without any express warranty or any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any intended use.  All items are sold "as is" and "where is" by a private owner, with no expressed or implied warranty, representation, or guarantee.  Only what is specified in the description and/or pictured is included.  All transactions are FOB/FCA our location in Monticello, Illinois 61856.  Since this is a private transaction, there is no sales tax.

 

Binding Contract:   Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer has read, understand, and agrees to all of the terms and conditions applicable to this eBay listing for the item Buyer is bidding to purchase or Buy-It-Now.  These include any applicable terms of sale, warranty terms, statements of the condition of the item Buyer is purchasing, and the Seller's return policies, all of which are contained or referenced in this listing for the item Buyer is bidding to purchase or Buy-It-Now.  Buyer understands that his/her bid is a legal and binding contract subject to these terms and conditions.

 

Other Payment Options:   In addition to PayPal, credit or debit cards, PayPal Credit, and Propay, as per eBay rules , for some eBay categories including Business & Industrial and eBay Motors, we also accept bank-to-bank transfers or deposits (also known as bank wire transfers and bank cash transfers), Money 0 rder, Bank, Cashier’s, Personal, Company, Certified, or Electronic Check drawn on banks located in the USA and International Postal Money 0 rders honored by the United States Postal Service.   We will also consider receiving payment through one of the following eBay-approved online payment services: Allpay.net, CertaPay.com, Fiserv.com, Nochex.com, and Xoom.com, but please ask before you bid or buy-it-now if you wish to use one of these services as certain terms and conditions may apply.  As per eBay regulations , the above other payment options are offered only for items that we have listed in the following eBay categories: eBay Motors - Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, and Other Vehicles & Trailers; eBay Motors Parts & Accessories - Engines, and Engines & Components; and Real Estate.   Due to the recent epidemic involving counterfeit negotiable instruments, all payments by money 0 rder, check or other bank draft will delay shipping 12 business days for clearance, after deposited into our account (not including Saturday, Sunday, or holiday).  Checks, money 0 rders, and bank wire transfers aren't allowed for most eBay transactions. However, you can use these payment methods to buy vehicles, capital and business equipment, real estate, and items you pick up in person.   Bank wire transfers inside the USA must be via FedWire and from outside the USA via the SWIFT wire service (the same services most banks use).  If credit cards are used, it is expressly and explicitly agreed that no charge-backs are allowed for any reason.  We also offer zero interest layaway (see “Layaway Terms” section below) and since it would be a violation of eBay rules for us to list other well-known point-to-point money and wire transfer services as payment options, we can say that in more than 40 years, we have never refused to accept a payment through any method a buyer has offered.

 

Buy-It-Now Listings:   Unlike an active auction where a buyer enters a proxy bid and may not be online to complete payment the moment a listing ends, Buy-It-Now listings end as soon as buyer completes the buy-it-now.  Since a buy-it-now bidder is online when he or she ends the listing with buy-it-now, we require that buyer complete payment immediately.  Failure to do so will result in the item being considered unpaid and dealt with accordingly (see “Unpaid Items” section below).  If you have already committed to a buy-it-now and for any reason are unable to complete payment right away, please contact us immediately to discuss this.

 

Layaway Terms:   Minimum 25% non-refundable deposit required.  Balance under $1000 - 30-days same as cash, $1000-$2000 - 60-days same as cash, $2000-$3000 - 90-days same as cash, $3000 and up custom terms available.  Any money or other consideration is received as partial payment and will be forfeited if balance due is not paid as agreed within the allotted time.  Layaways that exceed the above-specified periods and layaways with custom terms are subject to 1.5% service charge per month on any unpaid balance from the date of sale.  The minimum monthly payment is 20% of the purchase price unless we agree in advance to custom terms.  Written layaway agreement must be signed in advance and deposit must be received within 72 hours.

 

Escrow:   Provided Buyer sets it up and pays all associated fees, with our prior approval, payment for any item we sell can be processed through eBay's approved escrow service www.Escrow.com .

 

International Buyers – Please Note:   Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.  These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what (if any) these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.   These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.  We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - USA and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.  While we have to declare the value at exactly the purchase amount and not as a gift, there has been a trend lately for international buyers to have a friend or relative in the USA purchase an item, and then send it overseas to them as a gift, which is perfectly legal.

 

International Payments:   Payment methods for international transactions totaling more than $1,000.00 USD must be approved by us in advance.  Any item that is classified as restricted or prohibited for the destination country at [link removed by eBay] is shipped at Buyer’s sole risk and the payment method must be approved by us in advance.

 

Shipping:   No hidden fees, we only charge the actual cost of shipping at published retail rates with delivery confirmation from zip code 61856.  We take pride in everything we sell, have extensive experience with shipping, and personally package every item we ship extremely well ourselves to ensure safe arrival to your destination.  Sometimes it takes longer, but normally we ship items within one business day after full payment has cleared, often the same day.  We reserve the right to hold any shipment until we can confirm full payment has cleared.  We will ship to APO/FPO, U.S. Territory, and Post Office Box address provided any delivery confirmation as required herein is available to that location or if payment is by wire transfer.  For your protection, to ensure that we are shipping to the person who set up your account, we only ship to the address shown on the PayPal transaction details page, or in the case of non-PayPal payments, to the address shown in the eBay end of auction confirmation email and/or eBay Sales Record page.  IF the cost of shipping is included in the purchase amount you pay at no additional charge, the cost of postage/shipping and insurance, at the carrier's published rate, is not refundable.

 

Shipping Calculator:   No hidden fees or “handling charges” are concealed in the shipping calculator in our listings (and only the true weight & dimensions are factored).  If a shipping calculator is included in this listing, it is intended only to provide you an estimate of shipping cost.   The total amount to be added to the winning bid or buy-it-now price will be the actual cost of shipping at published rates as determined by the type of delivery service used, weight, size, destination, and all required tracking, delivery confirmation, and insurance fees.

 

Shipping Options:   We strive to provide you with the lowest cost mode of transportation and multiple shipping options from which you may choose.  If you have special shipping needs, please contact us before you enter a bid or buy-it-now and we will try our best to accommodate.  As per eBay rules, for all PayPal transactions totaling $250.00 USD or more, buyer must select and pay for a shipping service that provides detailed online tracking documentation with adult signature proof of delivery confirmation signed by the buyer.  For all other transactions, buyer may select any service providing standard delivery confirmation that can be tracked online to their destination.  Online tracking, delivery confirmation, and insurance requirements are for our protection and yours, ensuring that you receive what you pay for.

 

Combined Shipping:   We are happy to combine shipping if you purchase more than one item from us.  Combined shipping cost is the actual cost of shipping based on the total combined shipping weight, package dimensions, and delivery destination at carrier published rates.  No hidden fees or deceitful surcharges!  Since we normally ship immediately upon receipt of completed payment, if you wish to bid on or purchase other items from us, please go ahead and pay for your first purchase as usual and simply notify us to hold shipping until all your purchases are complete.  This way we can adjust the shipping fee on invoices for your subsequent purchase(s) and often eliminate additional shipping costs altogether.

 

Insurance:   If the cost of insurance is factored in the shipping rate quoted in this listing, it is done so at the actual cost (no hidden fees) and clearly disclosed near the top of the listing.  Delivery in described physical condition is not guaranteed without buyer purchasing shipping insurance.  To prevent fraud, we document every order shipped via photos, video, and/or a confidential mark strategically placed in an inconspicuous location on all items.

 

Delivery Confirmation:   Third party commercial carrier delivery confirmation shall be sufficient evidence that any shipment has been delivered to buyer, whether or not acknowledged by buyer.  Buyer must provide a secure environment at a PayPal confirmed delivery address location, or make special arrangements with the carrier to pick the shipment up in person (held at Post Office or carrier terminal for recipient pickup).

 

Local Pickup:   No handling fee for local pickup, which we welcome and encouraged by appointment at our home or shop in Monticello Illinois (halfway between Champaign and Decatur Illinois, 1 hour east of Springfield Illinois and 2 hours from Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis).  Full payment must clear in advance as referenced above or be paid in cash (U.S. currency) at time of local pickup.  Buyer must provide valid current government-issued photo identification matching buyers’ registered contact information on file with eBay and/or PayPal and sign a statement of items received.  Buyer is also welcome to make his own transportation arrangements and we will provide coordination with buyer's carrier for pickup.

 

Storage Fee:   $20.00 per calendar day for any item that weighs more than 50 pounds or that has any length, width, or height dimension greater than 20 inches.  Five (5) days storage included with every sale at no charge.  Storage fee does not apply to items purchased on a pre-arranged layaway, provided the payments are made on time as specified above and all other layaway terms and conditions are met by buyer within the allotted time.

 

Freight Shipping:   Cartons measuring longer than 108”, more than 165" (length of longest dimension + 2x width + 2x height), or weighing more than 150 pounds (70 pounds for residential delivery address) must ship via motor freight, freight charges collect, FOB/FCA Monticello, Illinois, with insurance and adult signature delivery confirmation.  Since we have accounts with Yellow Transportation, Con-Way Transportation, (and D & D express for delivery inside Illinois), the same discounted rates we receive pass those same savings on to the buyer.  Buyer is also welcome to make his own transportation arrangements and we will provide coordination with buyer's carrier for pickup.

 

International Shipping:   As we have for more than 40 years, we ship internationally to destinations all around the world.  Since we have no way of knowing in advance where a buyer is located, buyer is required to know their own country's import restrictions, rules, taxes, available delivery services, and eligible payment methods that meet our requirements as stated herein before purchasing from us.  If required, buyer is responsible for clearing the item for export from the United States of America, import to the destination country, and compliance with any additional rules or regulations imposed by any country whose borders the shipment will cross.  If an item is restricted or prohibited from importation to Buyer’s country by any government regulation, Buyer is solely responsible for arranging transportation FOB/FCA our location in Monticello, Illinois 61856.  In some countries, buyers will be required to pay additional customs brokerage fees, duties, taxes, tariffs, or additional local delivery fees imposed by foreign governments, shipping companies, or third-party freight forwarders or handlers upon receipt of shipment and in addition to the transaction amount.  If regulations require us to prepare export documents, buyers outside of the USA will be assessed an additional $20.00 document charge.  International buyers must add $.01 handling fee for each $1.00 of total payment (unless payment is by wire or mail).  The value of all items being shipped will be declared at exactly the purchase amount and not as a gift.  Buyers outside of the USA must select and pay for a shipping service that provides detailed tracking information and adult signature proof of delivery confirmation that can be tracked online.  We also need the recipients contact phone number for the shipping documents.  Since international shipments usually take longer than domestic deliveries and customs clearance sometimes further delays the delivery, to prevent misunderstanding or negative feedback, international buyers must acknowledge the estimated time in transit for the selected shipping service with their payment or through the eBay message forwarding service.  If the cost of insurance is not specified or added by the shipping calculator, please wait until you receive an invoice from us through eBay to pay for your international purchase.  Since online tracking and/or full value insurance is not offered by some shipping services to all international destinations, shipping outside the USA will be restricted to those carriers offering these services if required by the terms contained herein.

 

Damage in Transit:   Delivery of the item in good condition is the responsibility of the carrier.  In the unlikely event an item is damaged in shipment, buyer will be responsible for notifying and filing any damage reports required by a shipping company.  Should any carton arrive in damaged condition, immediately bring the condition to the delivery person's attention and open the carton and inspect the contents while in his/her presence.  If the contents are damaged, immediately notify the carrier of damage and preserve all contents and original packing materials for inspection.  Do not return items damaged in shipment to us, as doing so will void the shipping insurance.   Contact us with all the details of the damage immediately.  We will contact the carrier and file a damage claim and they will contact you to coordinate an inspection and/or retrieve the shipment.  Claims for goods damaged in transit can take up to six weeks.   As soon as the carrier completes the inspection process, pays the claim, and/or returns any undamaged portion of the shipment to us, we will replace the item if we can, and if not, we will issue an immediate refund.

 

Privacy:   Information provided to us will never be provided to any third party - unless you give express permission to do so.  We respect your privacy and do not partake in the practice of selling or distributing buyer information for any reason.  We will never use your personal or business information in any way that violates your privacy.  When you provide any information to us, it will only be used in such a manner as has been made clear to you, with your acknowledgment and prior permission.

 

Money Back Guarantee:   If you do not receive the item as described in this listing, if we can replace the item we will, if not, we will issue you a full refund including all shipping charges upon return of the item.  Any other item purchased will be subject to deduction of shipping charges in both directions plus a standard 25% processing, restocking, & inspection fee.  Any purchase canceled before it is shipped is only subject to a 25% processing fee.  We do not allow cancellations or accept returns because buyer failed to read and/or understand the item description and/or ask questions BEFORE a purchase, buyer changed mind, does not like an item or does not fit, misunderstood the listing, committed to purchase the wrong item, purchased by mistake, unauthorized use of buyer’s account, or buyer’s remorse, nor do we have a price matching policy.

 

30-Day Return Policy:   Due to our marketing and inventory procedures, all sales are final.  We do not allow cancellations or accept returns because buyer failed to read and/or understand the item description and/or ask questions BEFORE a purchase, buyer changed mind, does not like an item or does not fit, misunderstood the listing, committed to purchase the wrong item, purchased by mistake, unauthorized use of buyer’s account, or buyer’s remorse, nor do we have a price matching policy.  However, returns are allowed for a 30-day period on any transaction where payment is through www.Escrow.com .  After receiving the item, you must contact us through the open escrow you created for the transaction at www.Escrow.com and we must receive the item back within 30 days of the original escrow opening date.  All other return policies as stated herein apply.  Any returned item will be subject to shipping charges in both directions plus a 25% processing, restocking, & inspection fee.  Failure to communicate with us and allow us a reasonable opportunity to resolve any possible issue or misunderstanding BEFORE opening a case, opening a return request, leaving negative or neutral feedback, or less than 5 Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) stars will immediately negate this return policy.  For additional terms & conditions, please see the "Money Back Guarantee" section above and "Feedback" section below.

 

Standard Return Policy:   Since we no longer have supervision or control over its care, treatment, maintenance, or modification once it leaves our possession, items are not eligible for return.  Therefore, we allow no returns, refunds, or exchanges and all sales are final.  If allowed by the terms expressed in this listing description section, all returns/exchanges must be in the original sale condition and packaging, receive our prior approval, receive a Return Authorization Number (RMA #) from us in advance, and be shipped prepaid with insurance and tracking within one business day following date received by buyer (same shipping time as specified in this listing and that we provided to you) .  Sender must provide us valid online tracking number as soon as it is issued or package will be refused.  Shipping and handling fees are always non-refundable.  This policy does not apply to items purchased on Layaway.  Any transaction correctly processed by us, but refused by, returned by, or otherwise undelivered to, the buyer, will be subject to the standard 25% processing, restocking, & inspection fee, the cost of return shipping, and/or any other associated costs.  Any shipment sent back without a valid RMA # clearly marked on the outside of the package, freight collect, postage due, or bill recipient, will be refused.  To prevent fraud, we document every order shipped via photos, video, and/or a confidential mark strategically placed in an inconspicuous location on all items, often under the supervision of the carrier’s employee just before sealing the shipment and their acceptance of the shipment.  Any item returned will always be intercepted and inspected by the USPS Postmaster or other shipping official and if that person deems necessary, be turned over to the Postal Inspector or law enforcement for fraud investigation.  For additional terms & conditions, please see the "Money Back Guarantee" section above and "Feedback" section below.

 

Feedback:   We pride ourselves on making sure that each buyer is satisfied before, during, and after every transaction.  Our feedback is extremely important to us.  Our goal is to successfully complete each transaction flawlessly (hence our user ID Flawless-Transactions) and earn another positive feedback and all 5-star Detailed Seller Ratings for every item we list.  If for any reason you wish to contact us after receiving your purchase, please do so within 24 hours so we may immediately resolve any issues or concerns.  Whatever you do, please at least contact us and allow us a reasonable opportunity to investigate the situation and resolve any possible issue or misunderstanding BEFORE you open a case, open a return request, consider posting neutral or negative feedback for us, or anything less than 5-stars.   Failure to do so before opening a case, opening a return request, leaving negative or neutral feedback, or low Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) stars will immediately negate our return policy .  Please remember that the Detailed Seller Star Ratings have NOT been anonymous since added to seller reports back on April 16, 2014.  When you post positive feedback for us, please mention the item by name and its quality only (no general or generic comments please i.e.: quick email, fast shipping, exact description, well packed, highly recommend, very good transaction, etc, as we already have enough of these feedbacks).  When you leave positive feedback with all 5-star Detailed Seller Ratings for us, we will know your purchase arrived safely and close another successful transaction by posting positive feedback for you.
