International Shipping
(Shipping is determined by weight of package)
Virtual Dollhouse will replace broken items only with proof of
breakage, i.e. a photograph of damaged item.
International Shipping
Because of changes in the post office's shipping policy,
insurance/tracking numbers can not be placed on any international package
unless it's shipped Priority Mail or above. Not even the flat rate
packages have insurance/tracking attached any more. Therefore, ALL
INTERNATIONAL packages with a value of $50 or more will be shipped Priority Mail with insurance
when available. Where insurance is not available with Priority Mail,
packages over $200 will be shipped by Express Mail.
Virtual Dollhouse can not afford to be responsible for loss and since
PayPal ALWAYS holds the shipper to be at fault, all international customers
with orders over $50 will have to pay the added rates. I'm very sorry to have to institute this
policy, but it seems that PayPal will not honor a "contract" between
shipper and buyer that says the buyer will assume responsibility for loss/breakage
to get a lower shipping rate. If you don't like this new policy, I suggest
that you complain to PayPal.
PLEASE NOTE: Any package shipped First Class (value $50 or under) Virtual
Dollhouse will replace only for breakage not caused by Customs.
You the customer, assumes all chances of loss. IF I allow
you to ship first class and the package is lost, and you go to PayPal to
get your money back, you will no longer qualify for First Class shipping.
This statement constitutes a legal and binding contract between you, the
buyer, and Virtual Dollhouse, the seller. Payment of invoice constitutes
acceptance of this contract.
***************
Checks or
Money Orders accepted as long as they are drawn on US Funds. Shipment
will not be made until Checks or Money Orders clear. Up to two weeks for
international checks.
Virtual Dollhouse retains the right to refuse shipment to some countries.
Shipping is not refundable.
*********************
It is the responsibility of you, the
customer, to make sure that Virtual Dollhouse has the correct shipping
address for you. If you don't give Virtual Dollhouse an updated
address after a move, Virtual Dollhouse will use the address on file. If
the package is returned undeliverable, and you want the package sent to
your new address, YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE
ADDITIONAL POSTAGE.
******************
If I estimate Special Order shipping for you and the actual shipping
difference is more that $1, you will receive a PayPal refund for the
difference in shipping. |
