OUR RESTOCKING POLICY: We do not charge restocking fees.

OUR DAMAGE POLICY: We take extra precautions to pack our orders to prevent damage and breakage. If, despite our efforts, your order does arrive damaged, you must work with the carrier (UPS, Postal Service, etc) to file the claim. They will normally want to see the entire order (all contents and all original packing material). They will send the claim to us for processing. Do not repack and do not return the damaged items to us unless you are instructed to do so. This will void the insurance and we will not be able to give you a refund.

LAYAWAY We offer a 60 day Layaway Plan on orders totaling $100.00 or more. 1/3 of the total price will hold an item for 60 days. Layaway deposit or merchandise is not returnable.

MINIMUM SHIPPING FEE Minimum charge on all orders is $5.75. All U.S.A. orders are shipped Priority Insured Mail. Special request for overnight delivery can be requested by customer.
