CONDITION: In good condition except for a tiny chip on underside of spout(see pictures).  It measures about 1/16" inch and is only noticeable on close inspection.   Otherwise no chips, cracks or restoration.  Pattern is bright.  There is a little wear to the gold trim on the handle from use but otherwise bright and intact. BACKSTAMP: The "Perfecta" coffee pot with "Camel" patent drip-less spout.  Patent No 234698.  Booths Silicon China, Made in England. Real Old Willow.  Also stamped Pat No 9(?)072. POSTAGE: UK BUYERS: First class recorded postage and package for UK buyers would be 3.25 pounds. The Special Delivery insured service which guarantees next day delivery (except Saturdays) and tracks the package is strongly recommended for items worth over 36 pounds and this would be 6.40 pounds. If items worth more than 36 pounds are sent by the first class recorded service they are not insured!! Postage may include a small amount towards the cost of the top quality packaging materials I use. OVERSEAS BUYERS: Postage and package will be seven pounds for the uninsured small packet air mail service which is sent at buyer's risk. For the International Signed For air mail service which tracks the package and insures against loss there would be an optional extra charge of 3.50 pounds for items selling up to 36 pounds in value and 5.40 pounds for values in excess of that amount. That is what the Post Office charges extra for that service. Insurance is recommended as I cannot be held liable for lost packages or damage if it has not been taken out. Please read my conditions of sale below. Postage may include a small amount towards the cost of the top quality packaging materials I use. PAYMENT: UK buyers to pay by cheque or Paypal. Overseas buyers to pay by Paypal. Please note there is a considerable delay for buyers paying by e-cheque. Items are posted as soon as payment is received from Paypal which can take up to nine working days!!! If posted before any buyer/seller protection provided by Paypal is invalidated. Items paid for by cheque will be sent before cheque has cleared for buyers with feedback rating of over 10 providing the item is worth less than 50 pounds. OVERSEAS ZERO FEEDBACK RATED BIDDERS: Due to problems in the past I am no longer able to accept bids from Overseas bidders with zero feedback unless they contact me before they place their bids. Zero rated overseas bidders placing a bid without contacting me first stand to have their bid removed. Thank you. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID: Conditions of sale: DESCRIPTONS: I always try and describe items as fully and accurately as possible and will always offer a refund if an item is wrongly described. In such circumstances I will offer a full refund of purchase price and postage but generally not return postage. Please note that all of the items I sell are old so there are bound to be commensurate signs of use and age. I always mention anything out of the ordinary or noticeable but buyers expecting "perfect" would be better sticking to brand new items which I do not stock. POSTAGE: I try and keep postage charges as low as possible. I do use top quality packaging materials and prices quoted may include a small amount towards the cost of this. An insured tracking postal service is recommended for all items as I cannot be held responsible for lost goods or be liable to Paypal chargebacks if insurance has not been taken out. Packages within the UK are automatically sent by either first class recorded service or the Special Delivery recorded service (at an extra charge). Items selling for over 36 pounds in value should be sent by Special Dleivery so else they are not insured. Overseas packages are generally sent by small package air mail which is NOT insured. I always offer the insured International Sgined For service as an alternative which tracks the package and insures against loss. By bidding you are understood to have agreed with this. EBay and Paypal both require a trackable method of postage for any buyer and seller protection to be given. Buyers requesting items to be sent by surface mail overseas do so entirely at their risk. It can take 3-4 months for parcels to arrive and there is no way of tracking them. COMMUNICATIONS: I keep buyers fully informed about the transaction. This includes an initial eBay invoice or email and an email confirming receipt of payment and details of when and how the item has been posted DISPATCH OF ITEMS: I appreciate buyers want to receive their items as quickly as possible and I therefore post items to UK buyers on receipt of their cheque and do not wait for clearance providing the item is sold for under fifty pounds and the buyer has a feedback rating of 10 or more. Items are sent as soon as is practicable after payment is received via Paypal. PLEASE NOTE BUYERS PAYING BY E-CHEQUE: THERE IS A LONG DELAY OF 7-9 WORKING DAYS BEFORE I RECEIVE THE MONEY FROM PAYPAL. ITEMS WILL BE POSTED AS SOON AS PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. ANY PAYPAL BUYER/SELLER PROTECTION IS INVALIDATED IF ITEMS ARE SENT BEFORE E-CHEQUES PAYMENTS HAVE CLEARED. NON-PAYER'S POLICY: If I have not had any response to my emails or received payment from buyers 10 days after an auction ends, I will file a non-payer’s report with eBay. This is so that I can reclaim the commission charged by eBay on the item. PLEASE do not bid if you do not intend to go through with the transaction. Good luck if you decide to bid! Place a Bid!
