I am not affiliated with any of the brands that I sell, all items are purchased at retail, sample, or department store sales. I do all the leg work and all my buyers get the discounts! All items are guaranteed authentic! All questions need to be asked before you make an offer. ABSOLUTELY NO questions will be answered of the item after the item has ended. All sales are final unless I have made a mistake in the listing. Please read the item description as this is your responsibility. I try to ship items out within 2 business days. Payment is due with 7 days. All items are typically shipped Priority Mail or 1st Class mail unless it is heavy in which Parcel post will be used or UPS. There is no negotiation on U.S. or International Shipping & Handling charges as the price is the actual shipping cost configured; international shipping is expensive as all items are sent Express or Priority mail; the amount is typically the cost of the shipping materials & shipment.
