However, if you prefer to have the barrette polished, please let me know and I will shine it up before I mail it to you. It is extremely important to me that you are satisfied with your purchase, so, if the barrette is not as described, please contact within 5 days of receipt (I cannot process a refund if you do not contact me prior to any return) and return it to me in the same condition as it was when I send it to you, and I will happily refund your payment, including original S amp;H. As with any pre-owned items, there may be signs of age. I do my utmost to take and present photos that accurately depict the item for sale, including any blemishes/damage. If you have any questions prior to purchase, please let me know and I will get back to you asap. I'm afraid that I cannot offer refunds for buyer's remorse, failure to read terms or descriptions, or for not asking questions not answered in the listing. S amp;H charges for places outside of the 48 contiguous United States will be calculated based on the weight of the package. I will always combine shipping costs whenever possible.
