Option 1. All of our items come with a full, money back guarantee, including return shipping costs, if not as described. International buyers have to pay return shipping, handling and insurance.
Option 2. If you do not like the item for any reason(other than not as described), you may return it for a full refund of purchase price less return shipping, the FREE shipping, packaging and handling paid by VTS to get it to you and the 3% non-refundable processing fee Paypal charges me to accept credit card/debit/bank/paypal payments. Paypal no longer refunds the seller the processing fee on refunds regardless of the refund reason. They're keeping the 3.5% (as of 8.2.2021). The average portable costs $25 in packing material (New double walled HD box (always), packing nuts/air pillows, bubble wrap, stickers and label) and an average of $50 (this has increased significantly in 2021 due to rising fuel costs) to ship it to the new owner. Office models are far more time consuming and very expensive to ship. It also helps stop "buyers" from "renting" my typewriters for wedding receptions and other short use events. International buyers payment will be refunded less all S&H as well. Option 2 is NOT available for Bargain Basement purchases.
