The Red Tape:
US Shipping:
Saddles will ship via Fed Ex or USPS.
Shipping is
calculated
unless otherwise stated. This means that the price is determined by the Post Office based on package size, weight, and destination.  We do not make money on shipping. 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 within 5 days of each other. If you would like combined shipping, please do not pay until all items you are bidding on have closed and we have had an opportunity to send an invoice with combined charges. eBay
will
not
automatically combine charges. Sorry, but shipping cannot be combined on two saddles because two saddles simply do 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.
