Terms of Sale & Guarantee

Pricing

All prices on this site are in US$. Other currencies accepted at the current exchange rate. (See "Payment") below.
BuckaCover
Covers in the "BuckaCover" section of this site are priced from $1.50 for fresh new additions, down to US$0.60 each, averaging out at about $1.00 each. The price of thousands of covers from previous uploads drop each time we add fresh covers. (See BuckaCover Pricing page for details.)

Cover Box
The Cover Box holds our premium covers, however there are many inexpensive covers there too. We don't believe in holding on to covers for a long time, so we periodically place older items on the "Discount List", where they also drop regularly in price. See the "discounted covers" option in the search box in the Cover Box.

Minimum Order

The minimum order from this site is $10.00 plus a postage & packing charge (see below). We hope you will appreciate that this is a high volume, labor intensive effort. If you can't find enough for yourself, buy a few for your friends or youngsters! Unfortunately, due to the high cost of handling small orders, we cannot accept orders under $10, even if the order is being added to a previous order. Your order may include items from both BuckaCover and Cover Box.

Postage and Packing

Postage and packing charge for orders under $50 is US$2.00 to USA and Canada or US$3.00 to all other international addresses. Free postage and packing on orders over $50. All orders are carefully packed - protected with plastic sleeves and cardboard envelope stiffeners.

Our shipping terms for BuckaCover items are based on orders which average approximately $1.00 per cover, as most orders we receive from BuckaCover are made up of a mix of all price ranges from 60c to $1.50.

Large orders for BuckaCover items from overseas customers that consist exclusively of the cheapest covers are subject to a shipping surcharge. For example, an order of 80 or more covers, all priced at 60c and 75c each, might require a surcharge beginning at approximately $8.00. If you wish to order large quantities of exclusively the cheapest items, please check wth us first.

This note applies only to overseas shipments that consist of only the cheapest covers. It does not apply to 99.9% of orders from this site!

Registration and Insurance
All our shipments, to most countries, are covered by our own philatelic insurance policy. We will pay for registered mail service (at our discretion) for larger orders. (Usually over $300). If you require registration for safety, please add $12.50 to the postage charges for orders less than $300.

Some countries excluded
Shipments to the following countries require payment of an extra insurance fee, ranging from $5 to $12.50, depending on the order size. ($5 for orders up to $100). This amount is in addition to any postage charges (which are still free over $50).

Indonesia,
Mexico,
Turkey,
many countries in Africa,
former Soviet Republics
and some other
countries.
See complete list.

Sorry, but we do not accept orders
from these countries
unless the additional insurance fee is paid
is paid.

Due to consistent problems with mail delivery, we DO NOT ship to:

Bangladesh,
India,
Pakistan,
Thailand,
Russia,
nor accept credit cards from these countries for shipment elsewhere.

Combined shipping on multiple orders
We know there is a lot to look through at one sitting, particularly when we do a new upload! You may place multiple orders and have them all count toward one shipping charge (free over $50 !) as long as the orders are placed within a three day period and are combined in one payment. If paying by PayPal, you must make only one payment!

Payment

Orders will be shipped promptly upon receipt of payment.

Canadian customers may choose to pay in either US$ or C$. The invoice will show both, using the current exchange rate. (PayPal payments in US$ only).

Canadian buyers are subject to GST and Ontario buyers to PST.

Many forms of payment are available, including credit cards. Please see our "Payments Page" for more details. Cash payments may be sent in Euros, Pounds Sterling, US dollars or Canadian dollars only.

We reserve the right to return items to stock without notice if payments are not received in a timely manner (one week from the order date for PayPal and other online methods, three weeks for mailed payments).

Combining Orders from BuckaCover and Cover Box

Your selections from both inventories (BuckaCover and Cover Box) on this site will automatically be combined by our Shopping Cart. You may go back and forth between the two inventories as much as you like. Your shopping cart will automatically combine any purchases from the two different inventories!

eBay purchases: Frequently, smaller eBay lots can ride along with your website order with no additional cost of postage. You will be asked to pay the eBay postage cost, but if the lot(s) do not add to the actual cost of postage by forcing the parcel into the next weight class, we will refund your eBay postage. We reserve the right to ship eBay lots separately, at our discretion.

Additional information about BuckaCover covers

Sorry, but at this price, we absolutely cannot offer additional information about covers listed on the BuckaCover portion of this site. Please do not ask us for more information about the cover, closeups, scans of the back or anything else. Remember, we're talking about an average of $1 each here! If you can't tell you want it from the scan, don't buy it! We will be glad to address any questions you have about covers in the Cover Box portion of the site.

Condition & Guarantee

BuckaCover Items
Condition is as you see it in the scan. We do not list covers that have significant faults that are not visible in the scan. Commercial covers may have insignificant opening tears or flap tears that are not visible in the scan, but never anything that in our opinion makes them undesireable for $1.00. If you require perfect, selected condition for all your covers, you probably shouldn't be shopping in a dollar box. If you are ever truly unhappy with a purchase, let us know and we'll make an adjustment, but returning one or two covers is a waste of everybody's time and postage!

CoverBox Items
Your satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed. If you are not happy with a cover for any reason, we will cheerfully refund your money - no questions asked. (We are confident in our stock and are happy to make this guarantee, but please do not use this as an approval service and order more covers than you intend to buy - it costs us time and effort to restock.)
