Plush Granville Groundhog Meteorologist Hallmark Storybook Friends Crayola 12" Granville Groundhog, Meteorologist Official Hallmark Storybook Friends Groundhog Presented by Crayola 12" Soft Plush Stuffed Animal 1997 Hallmark patch sewn on foot Hallmark ID sewn into trousers. Like new condition. I ship a lot of my plush and smaller items in recycled boxes (cereal, quick foods, coffee boxes) or heavy pvc plastic bags so they can be shipped first class mail....this is to keep down shipping costs. If you want priority you have to ask for it or pick it in your shipping choices I usually wash all my toy plush before shipping unless it is new with tags or washing would damage the item. I only sell plush or toys that I would give to my own grandkids... I offer 3 kinds of shipping so please check your invoice for the one you want. Everything is right up front all on the eBay page. I can only offer PayPal this is eBay's policy not mine. They adopted the PayPal only in January of 2009. We can't offer MO or checks to our customers anymore. eBay allows us to offer local pickup, and I offer that. So if you would like to pick up your item please make arrangements before the end of the auction. If you have any questions on payments please contact me. I ship international shipping, and it has to be paid with PayPal. Sorry this is so lengthy but I have to make sure you know about everything and a lot of things are beyond my control these are eBay's policies......not mine Thanks. I use UPS ~ USPS ~ FEDEX ~ On heavier or delicate items insurance is included in the shipping and handling charges. I also package very well so don't worry. If there would be breakage please keep all packaging in order to file a claim. USPS is your responsibility and can be done online on the usps site, if you need anything from me just contact me and I will provide what I can with FedEx and UPS I have to file the claim. So if you encounter any problems email me. If something breaks it is insured don't expect me to refund you your money you or I have to file claims with the carrier. How they handle there boxes is not my fault. I have been packing for years and usually don't have problems. A little about your protection (aka insurance), we have to include protection in our shipping and handling charges or not at all. This is eBay's policy not mine. So if the shipping seems a little higher then normal, and it is breakable or a higher ticket item then that is why, cause I have included it. priority now includes free insurance...I don't ship breakables or high priced items parcel select anymore unless you specifically ask for it International shipping first class mail and is not trackable, I offer this shipping cause it is less expensive for my customers. I haven't had a problem yet, but it does take longer to get your item this way most of the time. So if you choose first class please be patient. I have been an eBayer for 16 years now since 1998...My wife and I teelady share our sites so check my other site out under TEELADY Please Read Please be aware that my items are mostly vintage, and they have been previously loved by someone else. I can't guarantee they are from smoke or pet free homes. So that means my items are not new or perfect, unless otherwise stated. However, I do carefully inspect each item more than once, to provide bidders with the most accurate descriptions as possible! Read my feedback comments to insure confidence when bidding! I do offer refunds (14 day money back return policy). But remember all items are sold as is, because of the nature of my items, so I suggest you ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding. I am not responsible for sizing...I state sizes and measurements in listing so please READ all information is in the auction. If it isn't then please ask... Serious and courteous bidders are always welcome at the VALH54 auction site! eBay has a new rating (feedback) that they call DSR's. I strive for a 5 across the board on my listings so if you can't give me a 5 star rating, then email me so I can try and make it better so you can give me that 5 star rating I deserve. If you aren't satisfied with your product due to my fault....then contact me so we can talk and try and work out the problem, before you leave feedback. Please this is important to me. txzj pxzj849 txzj5 txzj62
