- b***k (570)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI purchased several items in the seller at the same time. They shipped all of them in the same box at the same time. All for the price of the quote of shipping on one of the items. They did not offer any kind of refund for partial shipping or combine shipping charges. Very disappointing. Due to this, I will not buy from the seller again.Reply from: antiques*things- Feedback replied to by seller antiques*things.- Feedback replied to by seller antiques*things.Buyer was refunded $11.27 for the overpayment that was made on shipping. We always refund our buyers shipping if we combine shipping with other items purchased. We take great pride on being transparent with our customers and really wish that the buyer double checked his information before posting.
