The price of the shipping is an estimate of the furthest location possible we can ship. We are happy to provide a refund for any extra in the shipping.

This allows you to see the domestic (USA) shipping costs as well as international shipping, handling, and other fees. The import charges include any customs duties, taxes, brokerage, and other fees. This means that we as the seller will send your item to the global shipping center, and it will be shipped to you from there. This option allows eBay to take care of the shipping process for you.

This reimbursement can work in two ways: TOTAL REFUND: A total refund will ONLY happen if the item was completely lost or damaged in a way that renders it unusable. To receive a complete refund, you need to photograph and send pictures of the broken item and the packing box. Then you must package and ship the damaged item back, including the broken pieces. The buyer is required to pay the return shipping costs. A total refund can also happen if you are dissatisfied with your item. In this case the packaging and return of the item is also mandatory. PARTIAL REFUND: A partial refund will happen if your item was damaged due to the shipping process. The value of the partial refund will be discussed and agreed upon between buyer and seller. To receive a partial refund, the buyer needs to send pictures of all damaged pieces, the packing box the item was sent in and material the item was sent with. The buyer is required to keep the damaged pieces and packing material until the process is finalized. ************************************************************* Thanks again.
