This lot is a single-sided card cautioning people to "Stop! Look! Decide!" before using the telephone instead of the telegraph. The card suggests that using the phone is not good for one-way information, doesn't give the recipient time to think about responses, encourages non-essential conversations, and doesn't provide a written record. It's a wonderful perspective of changing times. The card was printed on standard paper stock and is approximately 5.75" tall by 3.75" wide. You will receive a card that is in the same or better condition as the one pictured in the photos.
Except on listings with multiples of the same item, the items you will receive are exactly as shown in the pictures. We don't use stock photos in our listings. In some instances, there may be slight differences in color between the actual item and the scanned image.
Please see all pictures for complete item condition and details. If the item is used, any and all flaws will be shown in the detailed pictures and/or highlighted in the written description. If there is any discrepancy between the written description and the pictures, the pictures take precedence.
If you are dissatisfied for any reason, please contact me prior to leaving negative/neutral feedback or low detail ratings. I will always do my best to resolve your concerns.
Please email me if you have any other questions.
I will combine multiple items to save postage. Please contact me if you wish to have combined shipping. When purchasing multiple items, put them in the eBay shopping cart. If the cart doesn't automatically combine shipping, use the contact button to ask for a new invoice. You can also send an eBay message to me requesting a combined shipping invoice.
I ship every day, Monday through Friday and frequently on Saturday.
All shipments with a value greater than must be shipped via a trackable method. This policy includes paper items that might otherwise ship under the letter rate since I use heavier shipping materials to insure a safe delivery.
If items are too large or too expensive to ship via the USPS letter rate, I ship them by USPS Media Mail, USPS Priority, USPS First Class, UPS, or FedEx depending on the size and weight of the order. Let me know if you wish to upgrade to a more expensive shipping method if it isn't available in the listing.
International Buyers:
All international shipments are handled through the eBay International Standard Delivery Program. International buyers are responsible for all import duties, taxes, and charges. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping costs. Please check with your country's customs office to determine these additional costs prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. They are not additional shipping charges and are not controlled by me. Customs forms for international buyers will always show the actual amount you paid. United States and international government regulations prohibit misstating an item's value on customs forms.
