Seller's terms and conditions

I offer you samples of minerals from my discoveries in the field and various transactions.

Shipments are carefully packaged and protectively wrapped to prevent damage in transit.Micromounts are always sent in a box ( 25x25x22 mm) and placed in a bubble envelope. The prices depend on the size of the sample: Below 3cm, they are ine buble envelope and shipped at the letter rate. The price includes material, shipping costs, paypal fees and customs taxes for international. Above 3cm, they are sent in a box and shipped in COLLISSIMO. The prices depend on the weight and refer to the current prices. I systematically apply discounts on shipping costs for several items.
