Shipping (includes specialist double skinned cardboard sword box):
Europe: €18 (excludes Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, etc.)
Rest of World: €30

I only use the local post office to send items; if you want a courier such as UPS, Fedex or DHL, YOU will have to organize and pay for it (I am happy to accommodate their collection). I am quoting using the cheapest option which is registered and provides some tracking. Estimated delivery times are Europe (7 to 10 days), USA / Canada / Australasia (2 weeks). The shipping cost does NOT include insurance; if you want this PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING; all risk is with the buyer (please note: I have never had a problem with damaged / lost parcels yet, except to Russia). There are faster delivery options available including an express service; please let me know if you want details of such options.

I sometimes use little white styrofoam chips and other props to balance items so I can photograph them; so if you see a little white thing or something else, that is what it is. I often use composite photos (photos which show the same item several times from different sides / angles); so if you see one photo which appears to suggest it is for more than one item, it is not (unless stated otherwise).

PayPal Buyers: You are the importer and assume all risk a) regarding Customs (after the item has cleared my local Customs and left the country) and b) for package / content loss or damage (unless insurance is paid for). You give up your right to make a PayPal buyer guarantee claim a) for non-delivery (unless you specify and pay extra for advised delivery, where your signature is provided back / available online to me as proof of delivery, plus specify and pay for insurance) and / or b) where the item is seized / delayed / confiscated at your Customs control.

Items are sold as is; assume nothing. Please ask for photos / condition statements as required.

Q:	Has the quillion been welded back on? Are there any repairs to the grip? Is the grip tight to the blade|? Thanks.  posted by: infsword  7/24/2010 10:36:34 AM
