We normally ship within one business day via USPS, both domestically and internationally. Payment is accepted via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Paypal, and checks and money orders in United States dollars, and wire transfer (which includes bank charges). Items purchased by credit card will be shipped to an easily verified billing address only. Shipment to an alternate address requires payment by check or money order. By Pennsylvania law, we must charge sales tax on the total order at 6 percent for shipments within Pennsylvania, unless the buyer has a valid resale number. All of our items are sold subject to prior sale. Institutional purchase orders are accepted.
We guarantee the condition as described of every item we sell and accept the return of any item not meeting that description with prior notice within seven (7) days of receipt by buyer. The item must be returned in the same condition as when sold; we will refund both the purchase price and shipping both ways. If order has not arrived within thirty days of the estimated delivery date, buyer is eligible for a refund. Insurance is extra and by request only.
