Payment Terms:

• I accept personal checks, money orders, bank checks, Western Union, Moneygram, Bank Wire Transfer and PayPal (but for PayPal payments please add 5% for international customers or 4% for USA customers) or you can use friends and family to save the paypal fees to the total (item price and shipping costs) to cover my PayPal fees).​
• U.S. Postal Money orders, Western Union, Bank Wire Transfer, and PayPal payments ship immediately. For personal checks, you will need to allow 7-10 business days for your check to clear my bank.

U.S. Shipping, Handling and Insurance:

• For U.S. sales, shipping will be approx. $15 usd (more for shipping to the west coast) shipping for the first bayonet (if under 2 lb) and $2 usd per bayonet, thereafter. For larger or heavier bayonets, please ask for the shipping cost. This is just an average cost depending on where in the USA you located.  Please contact me for your particular shipping costs.

• For U.S. sales, all items will be shipped via the Post Office by priority mail (express or expedited shipment is also available for an additional cost) and I will send you an email once your item is shipped. Insurance is not included in the shipping cost and is entirely optional for the buyer but is highly recommended. Please realize that it will be your responsibility and your loss if the package is lost or stolen if you do not have insurance. 

International Shipments / Customs:

• For International sales, I will use regular Priority airmail or Global Express Mail (EMS). I do recommend using EMS since this service provides a tracking number and is automatically insured up to $100 usd free of charge (additional insurance can be purchased but is typically limited to $400 usd depending on your particular country). If you decide to use regular Priority airmail, you are unable to have insurance and accept all risks in the shipment. Please realize if you use regular airmail that there is no way to track/find the parcel if it gets lost. EMS is well worth the few extra dollars for having the tracking number and peace of mind. For EMS shipments, please provide your phone number with your purchase so this can be placed on the EMS label so you can be contacted if there is any problem with your shipment or someone needs to contact you for delivery. The rates using regular Priority airmail and Express (EMS) shipping from the U.S. Post Office is below:

• Typically for a 1 lb bayonet, shipping costs average ~$80 usd by Priority airmail (4-6 weeks for receipt) or ~$90 for Global Express (EMS) airmail which also provides a tracking number (7-10 days for receipt) and includes up to $100 usd insurance.  Please contact me for the shipping cost for your particular location.

• For buyers who are from another country, payment can be made in several ways and must be in U.S. dollars only: 1) Money wired through Western Union or Moneygram, 2) International Postal Money Order, 3) Bank Check through a US-based bank (please make sure to cover all intermediary bank fees), 4) Bank Wire Transfer or 5) PayPal (for PayPal payments please add 5% to the total to cover my PayPal fees). 

• By purchasing an item you accept all responsibility should the item violate your import regulation and is confiscated or sent back. Customs is now enforcing regulations that prohibits sending certain things to certain countries. Please study your laws to know what items can be legally shipped to you so the items are not confiscated or sent back to me. 

• The customs value declaration and invoice amount must be the same, and the customer is responsible in case of loss, stolen, damage or customs confiscation. Please realize that YOU are responsible for compliance with your local laws and that YOU warrant the shipment is legal to your country. The buyer is responsible for ALL customs and duty fees levied in the receiving country on any and all purchases. If a package is abandoned in customs in the buyers country and is returned back to me for lack of customs and or duty fees being paid and I have to pay those fees plus shipping charges, the package will be held for one week, after which, the package becomes the sole property of the seller.
• Due to import restrictions, the following countries do not allow the import of edged weapons: Brazil, China, Denmark, Greece, Israel, Italy, Spain, Japan, Russian Federation and the Ukraine.

Layaway:

• I do offer layaway terms on any purchase but do not offer any discounts on these kind of purchases. Layaway requires a minimum of 10% of the total price as a down payment to initially to hold the item for you. You can take up to 60 days to complete the remaining balance. The down payment will be forfeited if the purchase is cancelled for any reason or don't make final payment within the 60 days grace period. There are NO returns or merchandise changes allowed on layaway items. 

'No Questions Asked' Satisfaction Guarantee:

• You must be satisfied! If for any reason you are not, please contact me and you can return item for a full refund less shipping costs as long as the return is within three days of receipt and the item is in the same condition as received (no modifications, damage or removed parts).
