CLEARANCE

PLACING AN ORDER – We distinguish between an inquiry and an order. If, however, we do not hear back from you on an inquiry, we can only assume you are not interested. Once an order has been placed, we actively remove merchandise from active inventory and reserve it. Thus it is not available to anyone else. PLEASE, if you place an order, remit payment within three business days or inventory returns to our catalogue. Repeated incidence of late or non-payment is not fair to existing a new clientele who may be interested in a particular item. We appreciate your understanding.
We offer several flexible payment options:
- PayPal
- Cashier’s check
- Money order
- Personal check
If paying by check or money order, please send to the address at
the top of the page.
All items that we offer are subject to prior sale. Prices are in effect
at the time of offering but may change without notice. New York
residents must add 8.25% sales tax (8.75% in Erie County). Telephone
inquiries welcome Mon-Sat 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (EST). You may also
email us at weekesautographs@roadrunner.com
New clients who have not established a relationship with us, and
who pay by personal check, are asked to wait seven to 10 days for
drafts to clear our bank before merchandise is shipped.
PayPal is a widely-accepted, fully-secure method of sending monies
worldwide. Many of our clients already use PayPal. Not only does
PayPal send confirmations of money transfers but it also provides
buyer and seller with a detailed record of transactions for accounting
purposes (especially helpful for insurance purposes). Although we
guarantee everything that we sell, PayPal also offers added protection
to buyers.
Important – please note: If you purchase anything from our
catalogue sampling, using the PayPal Buy It Now link below, it will
be necessary to confirm the shipping and insurance fees before processing
your payment. Please first contact us by telephone or e-mail to
determine what these additional fees will be. We generally ship
via U.S. Postal Service: priority mail, certified or insured. While
the majority of our clients are within the continental United States,
we also have clients in Europe and Asia. Please understand that
shipment overseas will be Air Parcel Post, with shipping rates variable
depending upon the country of delivery.
Layaway – Young people and those on a limited budget find
layaway an excellent means of acquiring material. Our terms are
simple. On purchases of $200 or more, a client may place an item
or items on 90-day layaway with a one-third, non-refundable deposit.
Equal payments are due at 60 and 90 days, at which time material
is shipped. All material remains our sole property until such time
as the terms of layaway are fully met. There is no additional charge
for layaway.
New York State Sales Tax – All residents of New York must factor 8.75% sales tax on their order.
