Spode Blue & White China Italian Design Lidded Sugar Bowl

We would like paying for items you have bought, this is the usual arrangement between buyers and sellers........... preferably within 7 days....... if you can't do that for any good reason, let us know....... please, we don't bite, much. We prefer payment by Paypal. We do accept Cheques and Postal Orders but cheques do have to clear before we will post your item and this obviously adds time on to delivery

We do post daily, unless the car breaks down or we're flooded, or the mice running this computer escape from their little wheel, or we have a terrible hangover from celebrating with Krug Champagne our latest e bay sale, or something. We always obtain proof of posting, but really cannot be responsible for the post office's whimsical delivery standards, We do offer a recorded delivery service, and would strongly advise that you use it. If you don't, and the item goes missing we'll send you the proof of posting so that you can make a claim from the post office. If you choose the recorded delivery option and it still goes missing we'll sort it out ourselves and refund your money. Sometimes we even just spring for the Recorded Delivery cost ourselves if we’re really pleased with the price we get for an item........ but don't rely on this. We are happy to post overseas .Please contact us before bidding to check postage costs so there are no surprises. We will only post to ITALY on an INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR service - far too much goes missing otherwise. We will not post to NIGERIA at all, Please note that if you are in MALTA postage is always really expensive so please contact us for price BEFORE bidding Postage Costs If you buy more than one item from us, please wait to be invoiced before paying so that we can apply an appropriate postage discount. We keep our postage costs to a reasonable level - but they do have to reflect packaging materials and the time and petrol taken to deliver to a post office miles from our base (good old post office cutbacks). We do this trip daily, whether we have one parcel to post or 20, because there is very little more boring than paying for something and then waiting a week for the seller to get round to posting it.......... We calculate postage on a 'rough guess' basis, sometimes we guess wrongly. Where we guess too low, we lose, but if we make an awful mistake and charge significantly more than the actual cost, we automatically refund you via paypal. We do not set out to make a profit from postage costs............

It is your responsibility to read the listing properly.All items are sold in good faith. We are not experts and try to describe everything thoroughly and honestly, but we can all make mistakes at times and if you think that the item wasn't described properly, contact us and we'll sort something out - we are nice people really......... We will refund if we make a terrible mistake on the listing - i.e. tell you it is Gold when it is Brass, Get the maker wrong i.e Wedgewood instead of Marks and Spencers or something similar. We will refund if the item gets there broken. We have lots of experience in packing delicate items and always, always, make sure we do a proper job and then double it for safety and very little is damaged in the post, but it does happen - even when we buy things on e bay it happens. Check our feedback for comments on packaging We will NOT REFUND if it is 1mm larger or smaller than the description - if you need such precision, please e mail us before bidding to point this out. We will NOT REFUND, if you 'thought' it was going to be larger, smaller, a different colour, shape, material or object than the listing states....... ask first.......We are more than happy to provide further photos to your e-mail address. We will NOT REFUND if it did not get there in time for your Gran's birthday - but we will always endeavour to make sure that any urgent orders are sent out as quickly as possible, especially if you tell us it is for a special occasion, We will NOT REFUND if the item doesn't arrive and you have not used the Signed for services offered, we will send you the proof of posting and you can make the claim yourself. We will always abide with any ruling made by either e bay or paypal if there is a disagreement between us, they have to be made to do something for their exorbitant fees.

Despite everything written below, we actually enjoy selling on e bay........................ it makes money and satisfies the masochistic part of our nature............ Most customers are great, even when things go wrong, as they sometimes will. Our Feedback is good, especially considering that most of the things we sell are delicate breakable vintage items. But now that we can't leave negative feedback for mad buyers, this really is the only way.......... If you e mail us and we don't answer you within 10 minutes, it is not personal, We are not out to get at you / ruin your day / life / marriage or whatever, it means that we have slipped the chain from around the ankles and escaped to do something more interesting - like shop for food, hurl abuse at the family or drink large amounts of the aforementioned champagne.
