The terms and conditions of sale are pretty simple and
straight forward for HB Philatelics.The
satisfaction of the buyer is the number one priority.If you don’t like it, return it!I’ll give you a full refund.Still, there are things that need clarified,
so see below.
Terms
- I
accept payment in US dollars only via cash, money orders, checks, Paypal, and
all major credit cards.
- I
will give a 3% discount for paying by cash, money order, or check.
- If
the buyer has purchased from me in the past or if not and has two references, I
will offer terms of payment over time.I
am willing to negotiate these terms so they will be unique to each
customer.I don’t hold the stamps during
payment.
- I will
ship via the postal service (USPS) unless the buyer requests otherwise.I will ship 1st class mail for invoices under
$100 and certified mail for any purchase over $100, but less than $2,000.If the purchase is over $2,000, I will ship
registered mail.Insurance is the
buyer’s choice and own risk.If the
buyer prefers any other method or type of shipping, please contact me.The cost of shipping is the cost to mail the
items plus $1.00 for materials.
- Missouri residents add 6.925% sales tax.
- Look at my show schedule.If we
are going to be in the same place let me know and the buyer can pick up their
purchases at the show, we can meet and shake hands, and save the shipping
charges as well as any chance of damage through the mail.
Conditions
- Returns are simple.As stated
above, if you don’t like it simply return it (in the same condition as received
obviously) for a full refund.If the
buyer isn’t happy, I’m not happy!
- Expertizing (Non-graded Certs).I
do my best to identify and describe a stamp correctly, to include any faults or
problems that may be on the stamp.However, that doesn’t mean I don’t miss something from
time-to-time.Should the buyer decide to
send a stamp to an expertizing agency for a certification, please let me know
within a week of receiving the stamp(s).Should the stamp come back as not described, return the stamp for a full
refund and I will also refund the cost of the cert.
- Expertizing (Graded Certs).Same
as above except I will not refund the cost of the cert for a grade that doesn’t
meet with the buyer’s liking.As all
collectors and philatelists should know, while there is a standard in the Scott
catalog, grading is still very subjective.
- I will accept certificates from the following expertizing agencies.If the buyer wishes to use some other agency, please contact me first.
- The Philatelic Foundation (PF)
- Professional Stamp Experts (PSE)
- American Philatelic Society (APS)
- Philatelic Stamp Authentication & Grading (PASG)
- William Weiss
- Approvals.I still remember the days before the Internet.Even though the buyer can see images of the stamps I offer on this site, not everyone has Internet access.I can send photos and or scans of any stamp(s), and I will also gladly send stamps on approval.On approval is simple.Like ‘em, send me payment.Don’t like ‘em, send them back.
