Please contact us immediately to report any shipping damage. Buyer must keep all boxes and packaging materials- this is a mandatory requirement of both USPS and UPS.

Layaways are considered at the discretion of the seller on a case-by-case basis. An initial non- refundable deposit equal to 1/3 of the sales price is due immediately to secure the layaway. Final payment is due no later than 90 days after the purchase date. Items placed on layaway may not be returned. In the event that the final payment is not received within the 90 days, the initial deposit is nonrefundable and the item(s) may be offered for sale to other clients.
