Ebay is an enjoyable part of my model railroad hobby. If you are one of those time retentive, precision oriented, assertive buyers who is looking for something less than perfect to argue about, PLEASE bid somewhere else.
I have dealt with those types. She holds me responsible for the USPS delivery time and gave me negative feedbacks because 1 week from purchase time was not fast enough for her, even when mailed First Class. Also she criticized me for the item description not being exact. I'm pretty thorough!
If you are not happy with an item, please give me the courtesy of letting me know, and I will try & fix it.
I will ship to APO FPO addresses and I'll pay all shipping costs. I am grateful to you and I thank your family for your service.
