New, old stock. Nochips or cracks. Purchased at an estate sale for a gentleman who was adealer/distributor. About 4 1/4" tall. 8 1/4" diameter measured on the points. I am often asked about the shipping charges - so 's the story behind shipping - please read - thanks. The shipping quote given by the calculator includes a $1 packing fee and insurance - it is all inclusive! Did You Also Know? Shipping costs are set by the carriers and are based on weight, size of box, and zip codes being used for shipping. Boxes more than a cubic foot in size are also subject to extra surcharges. The further you live from me, the more the PO or UPS will charge to deliver it to you. Take a look at the USPS example below. A 5 pound (12x12x8) package shipped from: PA to Mays Landing, NJ - $6.45 PA to Madison, WI - $12.20 PA to Seattle, WA - $16.80The difference is more than $10 going cross country! Is it worth it? It might be - especially when you consider the cost of time and gas trying to find this item on your own. You have to decide. Remember, it is not an item you can easily pick up at your local dept. store! I would love to offer you FREE shipping, however, if I did I would be out of business very quickly. 's why - If you buy a $20 item (4-5 lb. package) and it costs $16.80 to ship, that leaves $3.20 - I probably paid more than that for the item - I would be in the RED - when ebay and paypal take their pieces of the pie, including collecting final value fees on the shipping money (Did someone say "Bonus-gate" ???) - I would be out of business in no time at all! Now that you understand shipping a little better please be aware: Sellers are now rated by buyers on shipping charges - I understand some sellers inflate and gouge you with shipping charges, I am not one of them. You pay what I pay plus typically $1 to help with packaging costs. I use bubble-wrap and packaging peanuts, not newspaper . You are able to check the rates before you bid, so if you think they are too high - maybe you can find this piece from someone who lives closer. If you decide to bid and win, please be forgiving with your seller shipping cost feedback ratings. I work hard to offer unique items with excellent packaging and customer service. It is frustrating to be given lower feedback ratings (and pay higher seller fees because of the lower ratings) for shipping costs that are fixed by the carrier companies, not me! Methods of Shipping : Domestic USPS Priority Mail or UPS. Occasionally, I may use USPS parcel post. Parcel post typically takes too long and then I get dinged for slow shipping even though I ship daily. Keep in mind that UPS ground also takes longer than Priority mail , but may be less expensive for heavier items. Again, don't ding me for shipping time when item is shipped in a timely manner. You can use the UPS tracking number to see exactly w your package is in transit. I ship daily and typically your package goes out the same or next BUSINESS DAY. USPS shipping Monday - Friday and sometimes Saturdays. UPS shipping is Mon- Friday. No weekends. International shipping method is USPS Priority Mail with Insurance. NO EXCEPTIONS. Packing Fee: Typically $1 unless your item takes a lot of bubble wrap and peanuts for packaging. Packing materials are expensive, even more than I ask a buyer to pay. I don't use newspaper for packaging. Insurance : Required on all purchases, including International packages even if they are under 4 pounds and could be sent less expensively without insurance using First Class International. First Class International offers NO INSURANCE so I do not use that method. Combined Shipping : I do combine auctions to save you money on shipping. To receive combined/reduced shipping rates, wait and make only one payment after I send a combined invoice. If more than one payment is made for multiple purchases, no combined shipping discount will be given. Methods of Payment PayPal in accordance with Ebay Rules. Please read their r... read more
