About Wandering Creek Antiques
I've been selling antiques and collectibles since the early 1980s and had a retail shop until 2001. I buy most of my merchandise from residents of the retirement community where I live. Because many of the residents are quite elderly, I find lots of 1940s and 1950s cookware, china, and household items along with some earlier family pieces and many recent gift items (often never used).
Shipping Information
- I quote exact domestic shipping, handling, and insurance charges in my auctions so that you can factor that cost into your bidding decisions. For your protection and peach of mind, I insure and purchase delivery confirmation or tracking for every package.
- For domestic destinations, USPS is my shipper for small packages and Fedex for heavier items. For international packages, I use USPS.
- I offer reduced shipping when more than one item is sent to one address.
- I normally ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment. However, merchandise is held for 10 business days for checks to clear for buyers with feedback from fewer than 30 sellers.
