SHIPPING
TO KEEP COSTS DOWN THE PRIMARY SHIPPING METHOD WILL BE UPS OR FEDEX
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address to select UPS or FedEx shipping
(AK, HI, PR, Guam, APO, VI, PO Box, etc. addresses cannot be shipped UPS or FedEx without an expensive surcharge)
Because the USPS charges a premium price for Priority Mail (and raised their rates again in January) without improving their service nor do they feel obligated to deliver it within the 2-3 days time they state and that YOU pay for, I do not offer that service as my primary shipping method.  Recently I have had Priority Mail packages arriving 5-7 business days or more coast to coast.  Both UPS and FedEx deliver all packaged within 4-5 days (even coast to coast) and they are allot less expensive than USPS Priority Mail.
If you prefer USPS Priority Mail
(or your address is a PO Box, AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO) please write BEFORE purchasing but understand that it is expensive.  The USPS now charge a premium for any package over 1 cubic foot (12x12x12).  The price and double or even triple depending on how far it has to travel.  If you prefer this method do not expect the package in 2-3 days!
AND do not complain to me when it takes a week or more to arrive!
HANDLING TIME
:
This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment.  If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
PLEASE NOTE
:
UNLIKE MANY SELLING VENTRILOQUIST DUMMIES, THIS DUMMY WILL NOT BE SQUEEZED INTO THE SMALLEST POSSIBLE BOX (ask them, that's how many will ship a dummy to you!)
The fragile head and hands will each be wrapped in bubble wrap and there will be
several inches
of packing between these fragile parts and the outside of the box.  I never use airpacks or crumpled paper!
Yes, it will cost more than squeezing it into a Flat Rate Priority Mail Box... but it also has the greater chance of arriving undamaged - It's your money!
=========================================
NO RETURNS
:
Due to the reason for the sale, to help a family pay expenses, and d
ue to the fragile nature of this item, it is sold as NO RETURNS - You agree to those terms upon purchase.
This item will be shipped WITH insurance
If it arrives damaged or broken, please contact the USPS as it was shipped with insurance and the shipper is responsible for any damage that occurs while they have the package.
