Policies At 30cal.com

NOTE: These policies only apply to non-auction items listed on and purchased from this web site.

No Nonsense Policy: The way I see it, both parties to an agreement have responsibilities.

I take my responsibility as a vendor very seriously. I expect you to take your responsibility as a buyer seriously.

Buyer: You shall read the descriptions and examine the provided images. You shall understand what you are buying or ask questions or not buy it. It is the buyers responsibility to know what he is doing and to understand the stated policies of the seller.

Seller: I have the responsibility to describe items offered in such a way that an individual familiar with the type of item can understand. It is my responsibility to list items accurately disclosing any defects not specifically visible in the pictures.

Now, if we both take our responsibilities seriously, we shall get along just fine. However, if you think you can buy something from me so you can look at it, then return it, you are sadly mistaken. If you buy an item from me, you own it.

On the other hand, if I have described something incorrectly, shipped you an item other than the one shown, or made some other error, then contact me. I am a straight dealing reasonable guy and will work with you to come up with something fair.

I want to do business where everybody wins, I want the customer to walk away with a good deal and I want to sell at a point where we make a buck along the way.

Shipping - General Policies:

I am not in the business of padding shipping and handling charges to make money. And I am not in the business of trying to make the shippers rich either, so depending on the item/s being shipped I try to select the best bang for the buck when choosing a delivery service. Nothing is perfect, but my shipping quote system is pretty close, and I give you an upfront ironclad price with no surprises.

We will only ship to addresses in the United States. Make sure your address associated with your means of payment, (on your check, credit or debit card, or Paypal if you use it), is correct and matches your shipping address so the address can be verified.

We ship within two (2) business days of receiving cleared payment. If you pay fast, I ship fast.

Shipping Information For Coins:

All the "General Shipping Policies" apply.

INSURANCE IS REQUIRED AND INCLUDED IN SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES FOR ALL COINS.

Shipping service will be by US Postal Service, First Class Mail ®.

Shipping and handling (insurance included) is $3.50 in the Continental U.S. (The lower 48)

Shipping for buyers from Alaska and Hawaii will sometimes be the same, but you should contact me with your shipping address and zip code to verify shipping rates before bidding in any auction.

If you buy multiple coins at the same time I will combine shipping and you will receive a discount on like items that I can ship at the same time to the same address. You will pay full shipping of $3.50 on the first item, and one dollar additional shipping charges for each additional dollar coin, fifty cents additional charge for each added half dollar coin, and twenty five cents additional shipping for any added coin that is a quarter dollar size and under. (insurance included)

To take advantage of my combined shipping policy, I will happily hold any coins you won on auctions, or put coins that are listed at a fixed price on my web site on hold for you, so you can combine them with coins you are actively bidding on.

Feel free to add any fixed priced coins from my web site to any coin won at auction to reduce the overall shipping per coin charges.

Our shipping charges are reasonable when compared to others and looking at what you get. We take great care in packaging our shipments. We securely packaged in boxes, envelopes, padded mailers, bubble wrap, or other materials as required depending on the item being shipped. After you figure our time and materials it works out that we absorb part of the insurance fee, that is included in our shipping. With most others it is an extra. It really is worth it for buyer and seller as it eliminates most potential headaches and hard feelings that would go along with a package that is lost in the mail. And yes, even with USPS Items do turn up missing more often then one would think. Especially small valuable ones with NO INSURANCE.

Payment Instructions:

After a successful win of an auction or to buy directly from my web site, send me an email at t@30cal.com and give me a list of the item numbers you wish to purchase/pay for, and the means of payment you would like to use. Also send your shipping address. I will send you an invoice by email showing the total, and provide information needed to send payment. (NOTE: I am at a computer on non-holiday week days from 6:00AM PT until noon, and off and on at other times including weekends. My email is downloaded every half hour. I mark items sold or on hold on my web site manually, so in the event that two people ask for the same item while I am away, I will go by the time stamped on the email... first come first served.)

All payments must be denominated in $USD.

Payment should be received within 7 days of close of auction. If payment is not received by this time and no contact is made the transaction will be considered null and void.

All sales are final.The reason for this is just being practical. With the modestly priced coins I sell, the two way shipping is cost prohibitive, as well as taking into account the volatility of the silver market. I just put the effort in upfront and take detailed high resolution photos and give accurate descriptions of each unique item. My past customers have been 100% happy...

Paypal at this time is still accepted. With all the policy changes at eBay/Paypal on a day by day basis... This may change in the future. EBay is totally broken, but for instant payment Paypal still looks to be the best available at this time. It is fast and secure, and it works. I researched some others, but they are not ready for prime time yet.

Major Credit Cards are also accepted (Via Paypal).

A Postal Money Order or personal check (must clear bank before item can be shipped) is preferred if you are not in a big hurry, but must be sent in a timely fashion to make sure I receive it in my hand within seven days of the auction close. Checks must be drawn on US banks only. If you are paying with a check or money order, send me a message or an email, to let me know. (NOTE: Personal checks seem to clear allot faster these days...)

Make sure the address listed with Paypal or printed on your personal check is correct, as I use it to verify the shipping address.

Feedback Policy:

FEEDBACK IS FOREVER! Email us FIRST if you have a problem!

If you are happy with your purchase, please leave feedback. Good communication is the best way to insure a quality transaction so if for any reason you have an unforeseen problem, please contact me so I can make it right.

As a seller I will only leave feedback after I receive feedback from the buyer. This insures that the buyer is satisfied and the transaction is complete. Positive gets positive...

I work very hard to earn and expect a positive feedback as part of the transaction. Quality high resolution photos are taken and uploaded, items are examined for defects or problem areas, quality packaging, and insurance is provided to make sure your little treasure actually gets to you. Having done everything I could think of to make sure there are no surprises for the buyer, I hope you will bid with confidence.

FEEDBACK IS FOREVER! Email us FIRST if you have a problem!
