Pricing
Those of you who have made purchases in the past will notice that prices are still about the same as they were 9 years ago while
pewter prices have gone up about 30%. Pewter is the main cost for each figure and the price is a combination of the weight plus
the complexity of the painting and fabrication. If you made a purchase from one of my e-bay auctions you may have gotten a great price.
Please do not consider the e-bay price from an auction with one bidder to be the norm.
Some figures also are variations of current figures, which require some Dremel grinding, and paint purchases. I consider
these specialty items and they are priced to reflect the added cost of production in time.
Discount Coupons
If you have a discount coupon, the coupon is applied on the same checkout page where you enter your customer information. Be sure to enter the coupon code
and click the "Apply" button before leaving the Customer Information page.
Shipping and Handling
$3.00 is the base rate for shipping 1 figure, with a maximum shipping cost of $10.50 per order. After that the store will add .50 for each additional figure.
I will soon be bundling figures into sets and will provide updated shipping prices at that time.
In stock/Out of Stock
Not all figures are in stock. Please feel free to order them, as I will put the order into the weekly production schedule.
Production may only take a few days. I will ship the entire order at once so you may have to wait a week or so for shipping.
Royalties Fee
You will notice a DCI royalty fee added to each order. This is a 5% surcharge that is designed to share the cost of licensing
which I pay to DCI and the different Drum Corps. This percentage is not the total amount by far. It is a small offset,
which allows a sharing amongst all collectors who enjoy the activity. I also donate figures for auctions and raffles,
which offsets some of these fees. In the future I will post this amount for people to see.
Refunds/Replacements
Full refunds will be made on returned products on current orders. A 14-day return policy is in effect. As I have improved
my production knowledge and techniques over the years you may have purchased a figure that has broken or lost an arm or drum.
I will replace or repair any and all figures. Please return to me with $5.00. The $5.00 is to cover the boxing and shipping to return the figure to you.
