If you would like additional pictures please email your request with your email address to cmclassnomad@yahoo.com. Please specify what you would like to see. If you do not want your email posted use my email for response rather than the ask/response method through ebay. I otherwise post questions through ebay onto my auctions.
HANDLING
Local pick up is always welcome. Please email any questions well in advance to end of auction as I am not always around when auction is about to end. I only charge exact shipping fees and always happy to combine shipping on multiple items. Will use flat rate when possible if it saves shipping costs to you. I may request a travel fee if shipping is requested by freight or greyhound. Most items shipped priority mail unless otherwise stated or requested by you. I do find that if INTERNATIONAL bidders win auction and pay $15 to register their package, it arrives quickly and safely. But I only recommend this option , I do not require it anymore. International Bidders, please understand that if your package cannot be insured due to your location and you do not choose registered mail, I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PACKAGE DOES NOT ARRIVE. YOU ARE BIDDING AT YOUR OWN RISK.THE UPS OPTION IS NOT LISTED IN MY AUCTIONS AS THE CALCULATIONS ARE RARELY ACCURATE. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR ADDRESS SO I CAN GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE UPS QUOTE. IF FOR SOME REASON I HAVE LISTED THE UPS OPTION PLEASE VERIFY COST OF SHIPPING BEFORE PAYING FOR YOUR ITEM PRIOR TO RECEIVING INVOICE.
IF YOU ARE CHOOSING A MEDIA MAIL OR PARCEL POST SHIPPING, INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WILL BE ADDED WHEN INVOICE IS SENT. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO INSURE YOU ARE PURCHASING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
INSURANCE/CLAIMS: due to the changes in postal policies and the wait time for a claim to go through, it is my recommendation that should your item need to have a postal claim due to postal delivery damage, please take it to your post office and handle the claim yourself. I will be happy to provide all necessary paperwork for you. You can even do it online through USPS.com. Thank you for your understanding
