Budgedad's Policies

Shipping Policy

BUDGEDAD policy is to include shipping in the price of the item if being shipped within the United States. International Shipments will be priced accordingly so please inquire. When insurance is not included in the price of the item you will always have the option of adding insurance when available.

BUDGEDAD expects that all purchases reach you in a safe and secure manner and that shipping should not cost an arm and a leg. Although you and I have little control over the USPS, UPS or other services time in transit, we should still anticipate your package to arrive in a timely fashion. You should expect no less. Do remember the choices you make can affect delivery time, particularly when shipping international.

However, accidents and breakage do occasionally happen and for this I recommend purchasing insurance when not included in the purchase of the item. If shipping to a location where insurance is not available or the buyer refuses insurance, possession of the item is at the point of shipment and we can assume no liability after drop off to the shipper. When possible an attempt to combine shipping if size and weight permit will be done to achieve additional savings.

If applicable (many items include shipping) is charged as close to actual postal or shipping costs as possible plus a handling charge to cover materials, personnel, and incurred fees.

Because of the quantity shipped all packages are prepared on Thursday and shipped on Friday if payment is cleared by Wednesday midnight CST.

Should an item be broken in transit please do not return it to but contact should be made immediately. As quickly as possible you will receive a return call or email so satisfactory arrangements can be made with you to resolve the issue or insurance claim. If the item does not arrive in a timely fashion it would be appreciated if contact from you is made with BUDGEDAD so the shipment can be traced or located.

Methods of Payment

BUDGEDAD accepts payment through Paypal.

Budgedad will also accept personal checks and Money Orders with pre-approval. To purchase in this manner an email must be sent identifying the items you wish to purchase. Since you will not be using the shopping cart there may be lag time between your request and acknowledgment of the items you have requested. If any of these items have been put in a Paypal shopping cart by another buyer, before this acknowledgment, the requested item may be lost to that subsequent buyer.

Return Policy

Everyone makes an error from time to time. If we have listed items wrong or missed something regarding condition or a Customer may finds that their purchase was not what was anticipated do not worry. Because of this BUDGEDAD has a fair and liberal return policy:

Should an item not be as listed we accept full responsibility for the error and will refund in full including shipping. Please do not return the item without making contacting with us first. The results for domestic issues will always be a phone call if at all possible, while communication for international customers will be via Email.

If there is any other legitimate reason for requesting a return we will refund the full amount less expenses.

All items when returned will require approval and insured return shipping when applicable.

You can buy with confidence because we stand behind the product and BUDGEDAD wants you to return often.

Guarantees & Warrantees

All items are guaranteed as listed. Should any item not be as we listed or condition be in question we always accept returns for full refund. We imply no additional warranty other than the condition and authenticity as stated in the listing and any manufacturer’s guarantee which may transfer with the item.

Privacy Policy

No Information received from customers, contacts or any individual will be distributed or used in any manner other than that which is correct and proper for completing our transaction. All information personal and casual will be kept strictly confidential and client business contact will always be respected.

Blogs, Mailing, and E-mail List

Budgedad maintains a list of customer contacts and sends emails of new items listed on Ebay in advance. This is done only on a volunteer basis and should be requested if you wish to be added.

I am also publishing a Blog on items of interest to collectors and persons interested in Antiques & Collectibles which we would include in our emails as they are published.

If you wish to be added to either of these lists please contact us at www.budgedad.com with authorization to add you to our list. It definitely will be interesting and sometimes controversial.
