Conte Collectibles NO SHIPPING WILL OCCUR DEC 22-30 so we can spend the holidays with family. Thanks for understanding. THIS IS A RARE LOOSE UN BOXED 'QUALITY CONTROL' SAMPLE SET WHICH HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED FROM OUR WAREHOUSE FOR SALE TO A LUCKY COLLECTOR. THESE 'VAULT' SETS ARE GENERALLY 1 OF PERHAPS 3 TO AS MANY AS 6 SAMPLE SETS REVIEWED BY RICHARD CONTE BEFORE APPROVING A LARGER PRODUCTION RUN. THESE VAULT SETS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN OUT OF STOCK OR IN A SOLD OUT STATUS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AS WE'VE GRADUALLY CLEANED UP THE WAREHOUSE WE'VE BEEN SORTING AND LABELING THESE SAMPLE SETS. WE WILL NOT BE RERUNNING OR REPRODUCING THESE SETS & WHEN THESE SAMPLE SETS ARE GONE, THAT'S IT, WE WILL BE COMPLETELY OUT OF THESE SETS. Photo is of a sample set FROM THE SAMPLE SETS, MR CONTE HAS KEPT AT LEAST ONE SET FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY BUT IS MAKING THE REMAINDER AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS FOR PURCHASE. All of the sets are hand painted and elegantly packaged ...each figure is generally tissue wrapped and then placed inside a specially designed protective foam insert which fits inside a glossy collectors box. The figures are approximately 2 1/2 " tall and are considered by many to be the finest range of toy soldiers covering this period of American history. Even though this set is listed on ebay under 'lead' figures, this set like all Conte sets are fine pewter which means they are NOT lead...as fine pewter is defined as being 99.5% lead free. _ HOUSEKEEPING Items & General Comments: --YES we try to ship worldwide.International customers are responsible for any & all customs duties/taxes/tariffs....please do not leave us negative feedback when or because YOUR country taxes you!! We have nothing to do with this..... -- We normally ship within 3-5 days of receipt of payment but it can take up to 10 business days. If your order is being shipped parcel post , the post office may take up to 10 days to deliver.IT IS NOT OUR FAULT IF THE POST OFFICE IS SLOW. Priority Mail will usually take 3-5 days. PArcel post will take up to 10 days--please do not leave us negative feedback for slow delivery (as some inexperienced ebayers have done) when the post office takes a while to deliver via parcel post.....also. PLEASE look at the estimated or expected delivery times as calculated by and confirmed by EBAY on your order summary...nothing is more frustrating than for us to deliver an item successfully in less time than bay estimates and then still receive neutral or negative feedback......free shipping means parcel post....and this is SLOW....WE JUST HAD A YOKEL LEAVE US UNFRIENDLY FEEDBACK EVEN THOUGH WE DELIVERED THE ITEM 7 DAYS EARLIER (!!!!!!) THAN EBAY ESTIMATED........ --We try to purchase shipping & postage labels thru paypal; when we do this paypal automatically sends the buyer an email with tracking info....please read your emails...we answer at least 7 to 10 emails per day with folks asking us for tracking when tracking has already been entered --International Orders and some USA orders are sent with postage bought from Endicia, a USA postal approved service. We use this system rather than because Endicia allows us to insure international shipments(If & When YOU WANT US TO)--Bizarrely, the US Postal Service will not allow insurance to be purchased for International shipments online while Endicia does...go figure..... ENDICIA DOES NOT automatically send you tracking numbers. --YES we try to combine auction wins occurring within a few days of one another to save you money if possible. This is at our discretion as we want to make sure these rare collectibles are packed & shipped safely and make it to your collection in the same condition in which they left ours. We reserve the right to put no more than $250.00 worth of goods into any one box as this is the maximum amount one can insure a box for with the postal service without going and standing in line--and having the package approved....for all sorts of reasons we cannot go wait in long lines at the post office ....... --All sets sold AS IS No REFUNDs --all orders ov... read more
