We usually ship three (3) to five (5) days after we receive payment. Nonetheless, please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery by United Parcel Service (UPS). Grading was done strictly and by appearance of the item, not boxes and not running ability. We do NOT guarantee running ability of any item, unless it is expressly noted in the item description that the item has been oiled, lubed and runs. Absolutely no returns are accepted on items graded C5 or lower and on items that have no grade. After thirty (30) days from the date of the auction, we will not accept returns under any circumstances, including items that may be described differently due to new technologies or information. Harris Toy Train Auctions makes a reasonable effort to represent authenticity, originality and grade of items with maximum accuracy at the time of the auction. Payment for an auction item that is received by Harris Toy Train Auctions more than thirty (30) days after the auction date voids all rights to returns, for any reason. Payment is expected within thirty (30) days after the auction. Payments after that period waive all rights to return and in some cases the item may be returned to the consignor. In addition, online absentee bidders using our website catalog should be aware of the following: Absentee bids cannot be reduced or deleted once entered, though you may increase your bid. You will not be notified if you are outbid online, so periodically check your bid status. The high absentee bidder online will not necessarily be the high bidder at the live online auction. If your absentee bid wins at the live online auction, Buyers premium and shipping/insurance charges will be added according to the terms listed above. Online absentee bidding ends one hour prior to the scheduled auction for that day.
