ESTATE FIND-VINTAGE DUCK PULLING CART PLANTER-CUTE!

This is a cute duck pulling a cart. It is in pretty good shape with only a small glaze chip which looks like a glaze bubble popped on the front corner of the cart and a bit of crazing. You can see it in the photo. There are no other chips or cracks. It is not marked and I have no idea who made it or exactly how old it is. The eyes are attached and are not glass but plastic. I dont know if someone added them or it came that way. The duck stands 5.5 inches tall and with the cart it measures 6.5 inches long and is 3.75 inches wide(the cart). Neat little duck planter to add to your duck collection.

All items are stored in a smoke free home! Sometimes family and friends save boxes and packing material for me as I am a nut about recycling. Some of them smoke in their homes. When I bring boxes etc home that have been given to me I store them with my shipping supplies in my garage and hope they will be aired out before I use them. If you are allergic to smoke please let me know and I will make sure a box and packing material is not from those sources. However once it leaves here I have no control over postal employees who smoke while driving around delivering mail.

Please remember that when you are bidding on vintage, antique, secondhand, collectible and estate items- most are not 100% perfect and will show some evidence of age, usage and general wear. I buy what I like and sell them as I find them. I do not attempt to make repairs and rarely even clean them. I try to describe items as honestly and accurately as possible and some things that I see as normal aging, others might see as a flaw or defect. I do not claim to be an expert and don’t always know what to look for when examining an item SO PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS.

Due to new Ebay rules because there are sellers who overcharged on shipping....I now have to use a calculator or an exact shipping cost. Since all my items vary in size, weight and everyone lives in different postal zones an exact cost is not possible (not unless those of you who live closer to me want to pay for a shipping rate to Hawaii). I would have to use the higher rate to cover shipping that is farthest from me. So please use the calculator and know that I am estimating on the high side since I can't wrap up and store every item in a box ready to be shipped. If it winds up costing less to ship I always refund any overcharge back to the buyer through Paypal.  I usually don’t use UPS but have no problem doing so if you want it shipped that way. If  I put 2 shipping options in you need to let me know as soon as the auction closes how you want your item shipped. If I don’t hear from you I will use the cheapest option available. I do combine s/h to save you money.

For International Shipping please email me for a shipping quote if I didn’t put the calculator on the listing. If you are overcharged on shipping I will do a partial refund through Paypal.  I will also email you a copy of the postal receipt which has the customs form for your records. You might be able to use the customs number to track your item if it gets lost. It just depends on your country.  Please note if you do want First Class International shipping which is the cheapest way to ship (THERE IS NO INSURANCE or tracking available) and it can only be used on packages weighing less than 4 pounds. If you choose First Class International you do so at your own risk. Although I have never had a package lost or an item broken when shipped this way the odds are it will happen at some point in time. I will make Priority Mail an option so you can choose which way you want your item shipped and you package will be covered by an indemnity for loss or damage. Please note  I will not alter the selling price nor put gift on a customs form so please do not bother asking.  Also I have no idea how customs works in every country and you might be liable for fees on an item shipped to you. I have no idea how much will be charged and what items they charge on.

Payment needs to reach me within 10 business days of your receiving the invoice. Communication is important when buying or selling on Ebay so if I don’t hear from you I will not hesitate to report you as an unpaid buyer with Ebay. I ship out fast and usually within 24 hours of payment (weekend payments mean your item goes out on Monday).  Insurance is required on USPS shipping and the amount quoted is what they charge.  UPS includes insurance up to I believe $100.00 on all packages. I will not be responsible for damage or lost packages during shipping. I have shipped hundreds of fragile items worldwide with no problems because I pack well. To defer some costs as well as recycling I use grocery bags with packing peanuts. They work great and help stabilize and item and keep it from moving better than just the packing peanuts. Please recycle all packing materials. There is always someone around who can use them if you just ask.  If you do not want loose packing peanuts in your box please let me know and I will bag them. A $2 handling fee is added to all shipping totals and goes towards packing materials and pays for delivery confirmation on US shipping. I do not profit from charging a handling fee. For that matter when I did my taxes for last year shipping cost me several hundred dollars out of my pocket. If I could afford to absorb the cost I would.

Good Luck bidding!
