Store Policies :
All meteorites and specimens are 100% authentic or your money back plus free return shipping. I am an avid collector of meteorites and I have acquired all of my specimens from reliable sources. You can be confident in the fact that each meteorite I offer is genuine. I have been buying and selling online since 1999. I have a flawless feedback record on eBay of 700+. I am also a moderator for the Cloudy Nights online astronomy community where I have 60+ five star ratings. My reputation is on the line with every specimen I sell - you can rest assured that my meteorites are 100% as described and authentic. I am a member of the Meteoritical Society.
Payment :
PayPal preferred. I will accept a USPS Postal Money Order from CONUS buyers. Overseas and Canadian buyers must use PayPal. If sending a Money Order, please confirm the total amount with me before mailing the payment. Please make the Money Order payable to "Michael Gilmer".
PayPal instant transfer is preferred over "eChecks". Please note that PayPal eChecks take longer to clear, which in turn delays the whole process and makes your item take longer to arrive in your hands. Upon payment, I usually ship the same day or next business day. So for the fastest service, do not use eChecks.
Shipping :
Unless otherwise noted, I ship using USPS First Class or Priority shipping with Delivery Confirmation. If the buyer requests it, I can ship via USPS Express or FedEx. I will NOT ship via UPS because of previous poor service I have received from them. Please inquire for using alternative carriers.
Refunds and Exchanges :
All sales are final. I also collect vintage telescopes, so I know how to pack valuable, rare and delicate items for shipping - I've been doing it for years without a problem. I pack all of my items very well. Any loss incurred during shipping transit is the responsibility of USPS, not me. Buyers may request shipping insurance at a small additional cost.
Additional Policies and FAQs :
Do you need a special meteorite for a custom project? Let me know. I have excellent sources and can acquire any meteorite, including large ones and rare types. If I don't have it, I can get it for you.
NOTE : If you have any question about meteorites, please feel free to email me about them. I will do my best to answer any and all questions and will provide additional photos by request for the items I have listed for sale.
