Combining orders and invoices for shipping and handling discount (eBay users only):
After you have won the auction, an e-mail with "marketplace advisor" checkout procedure will be sent to your eBay registered e-mail address. Please check your e-mail now if you’re done shopping or simply wait until all of the auctions have ended. Complete the checkout procedures from the most recent e-mail you received from us ("marketplace advisor"). Once you complete the checkout you will not be able to combine additional auctions. No exceptions. After you check out with your multiple items the system will automatically give you a shipping and handling discount.
If you are not done shopping you have 7 days to finish your auctions and go through the checkout process. If you receive any notifications from our system or eBay please disregard it. After you are finished, your items will be combined onto one invoice. If the sub-total is more than $199 your shipping will be free
Leather dimensions:
LEATHER SQ.FT. IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FABRIC SQ.FT. Due to the
unpredictable shape of an animal skin, LEATHER HIDES have an IRREGULAR SHAPE.
We cannot give you a perfect rectangular dimension due to this characteristic. When we say that a skin will be 2 Sq.Ft. we mean that it will have a complete surface area of 2 Sq.Ft. Again, this area is not always shaped in a perfect rectangle. In order to accurately measure the skins we utilize exclusive hi- tech machinery, and laser technology to measure the entire surface area of the skin. If you are not familiar with how a hide shape looks, we suggest you order one hide before you commit yourself to a large quantity. NO two animal skins are the exact size and shape!
