PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND
- I am selling these ventriloquist dummies for the family of the owner.  I did not buy these new and I do not know the history of them.  Some may be all original as when new, some may not be.  I was told he did repair some, replace a head and or a body if one got worn or damaged.  If there are any dates, I can only offer that information - I cannot guarantee completeness, or originality of these dummies as I am not the original owner
If you have any questions, ASK
them before you buy so the item you receive is the item you are expecting!    I am happy to answer any questions, provide additional photos, whatever I can to help you know what you are buying.
I cannot be more honest than that!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING

SHIPPING
THE PRIMARY SHIPPING METHOD WILL BE UPS OR FEDEX
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address to select UPS or FedEx shipping
(AK, HI, PR, Guam, APO, VI, PO Box, etc. addresses cannot be shipped UPS or FedEx without an expensive surcharge)
Because the USPS charges a premium price for Priority Mail (and raised their rates again in January) without improving their service nor do they feel obligated to deliver it within the 2-3 days time they state and that YOU pay for, I do not offer that service as my primary shipping method.  Recently I have had Priority Mail packages arriving 5-7 business days or more coast to coast.  Both UPS and FedEx deliver all packaged within 4-5 days (even coast to coast) and they are allot less expensive than USPS Priority Mail.
If you prefer USPS Priority Mail
(or your address is a PO Box, AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO) please write BEFORE purchasing but understand that it is expensive.  The USPS now charge a premium for any package over 1 cubic foot (12x12x12).  The price and double or even triple depending on how far it has to travel.  If you prefer this method do not expect the package in 2-3 days!
AND do not complain to me when it takes a week or more to arrive!
HANDLING TIME
:
This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment.  If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
=========================
QUALITY PACKING / WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
(1) We only use
NEW
,
unused boxes
(2) We only use
NEW
store bought packing material
(3) We
DO NOT
re-use boxes from someone’s garbage
(4) We
DO NOT
use airpacks or crumpled paper filler
(5) We
DO NOT
cram an item into the tiniest box
(6) We
drive the extra distance
to drop off at FedEx or UPS instead of the local Post Office.
That is because UPS & FedEx costs less and delivers faster than USPS Parcel/Ground (Days instead of Weeks)
IT IS YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY.
DO WITH IT AS YOU WANT!
=========================

We are upfront and honest.
You are charge exactly what the shipper through eBay tells us it will cost – We add no service or handling fee.

Before writing and telling me "Shipping is too expensive, others only charge ", call UPS, USPS or FEDEX.  Ask them what it costs to ship this box from AZ 85142 to you.  If they tell you less and I can verify it, I will be happy to accommodate!
