    Description

    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.

    Combined Shipping:
    We are always happy to combine multiple items to save postage. You can either request a combined shipping invoice from the eBay cart or you can buy your items separately and request combined shipping afterwards. If you pay for items separately and then request combined shipping, I will always automatically refund any shipping overcharges. Please note that I will deduct the fees eBay charges on the extra shipping charges prior to refunding. Therefore, it's better to request a combined shipping invoice prior to paying.
    Schedule:
    I ship every day, Monday through Friday and frequently on Saturday.
    Tracking:
    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.
    Method:
    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. I will usually ship your item via the carrier you selected in the listing, but I always reserve the right to select the most cost effective and safest carrier for your purchase.
    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.
