The Red Tape:
US Shipping:
Saddles  will ship via either USPS or FedEx
Shipping is
calculated
unless otherwise stated. This means that the price is determined by the Post Office based on package size, weight, and destination. The shipping fees you see are the actual cost to your location. Since shipping prices for an item vary greatly depending on the destination, we offer two to three shipping choices for most items that are 3 lbs or over. Please check the “Shipping details” link for all choices offered.
We do combine shipping on items purchased the same day. eBay
will
not
automatically combine charges on items from different listings. Sorry, but shipping cannot be combined on two saddles because they will not fit in a box that meets shipping size regulations.
We ship every day that the Post Office is open – usually 6 days per week. Any items paid for by 10 P.M. EST are shipped the next business day.
International Shipping:
All international items are shipped as quickly as possible. One to two business days after payment is received is typical.
We do ship worldwide. If you are from somewhere other than Canada, please contact me for shipping prices since they vary greatly from county
to country. Canadian prices are advertised.
We
will not
mark foreign purchases as “Gift.” This is illegal. If this is a problem, please do not bid.
Returns:
We try very hard to represent our items accurately and honestly. We accept returns, but we only refund the purchase price. All shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer. Please check measurements and ask any questions that you might have prior to bidding.
If you have any questions, please ask! I will answer them as quickly and as well as I can.
