6. Final Word

a.1) Depending on any circumstances, special or not, we hold the right to pick any method of shipment.

a.2) Depending on any circumstances, special or not, you hold the right to pick any method of shipment.

b) If there is a conflict of which specified method of shipment is used, we will work with you to find a win-win situation that both of us agree on.

c) We will always state the exact value of the shipped items. This is for insurance purposes. If you would like the value lowered to save on duty fees (and other hiden gharges we do not have control over) you may request a specifed value (that we will use instead of the real value) at your own risk.

d.1) If the price we quoted for shipping is mis-calculated due to any circumstances, special or not, and it will cost more then what was charged, we reserve the right to hold the item until the rest of the shipping charges are paid in full. (example: the item required more rings then were expected and increase the weight of the package significantly enough that we would lose money on shipping).

d.2) If the price we quoted for shipping is mis-calculated due to any circumstances, special or not, and it will cost much less then what was charged, we reserve the right to give you credit on any future orders for the difference in paid and actual cost. (example: the item required less rings then were expected and decreased the weight of the package significantly enough to lower the price of shipping).
