General Terms
All items are sold as-is/as-found. Dimensions are approximate and wood type only per observation. Wood colors as shown in photos are as close as practical; the camera sees things as they are, not necessarily as the human eye sees them.
All sales are final. No returns, exchanges or refunds are allowed. Fancy keys, cranks, tassels, underlying shelves, etc., unless specifically noted in a listing, are the personal property of the seller and will not be included with the clock when it is shipped. A winding key or crank will generally be included with all clocks we ship.
Sending photos to us grants us an implied right to use, post or distribute them as we deem appropriate.
Payment
All prices are in U.S. Dollars. We accept personal checks (no money orders or cashier's checks.) If you wish to use PayPal, please use the "send money to friends/family" option to avoid their fees. We also accept Zelle or Venmo transfers.
On sales to destinations outside of the U.S. or Canada, we accept only bank wire transfers, in which case the buyer is responsible for fees of both the sending and receiving financial institutions. We reserve the right to cancel any sale where payment by our terms is not received within ten days following your notification of intent to purchase; deposits are non-refundable. Once we have received payment there is no cancellation.
Sales Tax (CA Residents)
CA residents must add current state sales tax (City of Escondido rate).

Transfer of Ownership/Liability
Once payment is received, ownership of the item transfers immediately. If there is a problem with the shipment we will endeavor to assist you, however your claim must be filed directly with the packer and/or shipper. When we deliver an item to be packed it is in the condition we stated in our listing and we have the packer sign to acknowledge such. Our consignors also sign, and we retain, but do not disclose, an ownership statement certifying they have the legal right to sell the item.
Packing & Shipping
All packing/crating, insurance, and shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer, however disassembly is the responsibility of the consignor. If a clock is to be moved by a blanket-wrap mover, it is the responsibility of the consignor to have the weights, finials and other small parts (possibly to include the movement) professionally packed in advance of arrival of the truck.
We only use commercial packing and shipping firms. They do a professional job of packing and ensure that your item arrives safely. That also provides you a second "layer" of insurance covering the packaging quality.
Post-Shipment Responsibility
Occasionally, because of the bouncing around that inevitably occurs during shipping, a clock will require adjustment after unpacking, sometimes by a professional clocksmith. Any cost associated with such post-shipping adjustment is the buyer's sole responsibility. Setup of the shipped clock is the sole responsibility of the buyer; shippers do not have clock setup expertise.
