Other Terms
Clock and general key fitting and sizing
Keys not sold for test fittings! I do not suggest purchasing any key as a replacement unless you know the key will fit. The problem with older keys and locks is that the mechanisms and keys often change due to wear. In addition, key measurements can vary greatly due to small differences in bit cuts, depth, shaft diameter and sizing due to metric vs. US standards. My square end keys, including clock keys are sized by metric standards. Although I accept returns, the cost of returning a key purchased on size speculation is generally not worth the cost. I suggest consulting a locksmith to confirm lock / key fitting.
Refunds
I will gladly refund any purchase if you are not 100% happy. Contact me first and I will be happy to assist you with any problem. Please note that all returns must be postmarked within the allowed return period Please include all items received. Item(s) must be packed in equal protection as received and be tracked/insured (to prevent loss). Refund will be issued upon complete, unused and non-damaged return of item(s) to seller. Buyer is responsible for return postage costs unless the return is due to my listing error. Buyer is responsible for any theft of items from their mailbox and the postal insurance / seller does not cover such loses.
Refunds due to lost or damaged items
We will be happy to refund items that were insured and lost or damaged in transit. However, PayPal and US Postal regulations require the receiver to file a lost or damaged claim with your post office as soon as possible and/or respond to any inquiries.
Sales outside of ebay
WARNING!
ebay reads private communications between buyers and sellers. We do not accept offers to sell “listed items” outside of ebay, so please do not ask as you may risk having your account closed.
Packing
Groups or sets of keys are generally shipped together in a tightly wrapped plastic bag. It has been my experience that keys are not seriously damaged when packed as a tight group. Valuable keys or single keys are usually packed individually. Special packing is available upon request, but large groups of common keys cannot be packed individually due to time restraints and postal box size and weight limits.
Feedback
Please remember shipping delays, shipping costs and other issues are generally beyond my control. Although I try to inspect every key, some may have defects I honestly missed. In such cases I will refund your payment and pay for return shipping. Please remember this when leaving feedback. I will be happy to correct any issue. Please allow up to 30 days for feedback as we must honor the return period in addition to normal processing time.
