Payments: Preferred payment method is PayPal, shipment is usually not later than the next working day after payment is made. Because I ship mostly by USPS this includes Saturdays. Money Orders are the next quickest way. I ship not later than the next working day after the MO is received. I will accept Personal Checks but will have to hold up to ten days. If the bidder's feedback is good I will ship sooner depending on amount of purchase and quality of feedback. Shipping: I will always state the shipping fee in the description of the item auctioned. Many of my "Dutch" auctions will include the shipping in the bid amount. Items less than 20 lbs. are always shipped USPS. Items above 20 lbs. but less than 100 lbs. will go FedEx while they have better rates than UPS. If the item is heavy enough to go freight I will contact bidder and work out arrangement for the carrier. If other shipping arrangements are desired then contact me before payment is made because there might be additional charges. Insured shipping is an additional charge when requested by the winning bidder. Tracking numbers are emailed when available the day shipment is made. Returns: Although auctions sales are traditionally considered final, with the online format there has to be some consideration given to insufficient description and unclear images. If an item is not to your satisfaction please request a return authorization. Larry Baker - PrimeMart's only employee.
