Online Information about The Creator: Looking for a way to make a little money between semesters at college, in the summer of 1974, David Furlong and his brother Dan started making wooden toys in the basement of their parents’ home in South Burlington, VT, using their father’s collection of woodworking machinery. By the end of David’s first year in college, he was ready to try something completely new. Using the considerable amount of scrap wood, they designed a little bulldozer and cement truck. Next his brother came up with a train engine, followed by a log car and caboose. They sold the first ones to people they knew and an occasional gift shop. David ran his own toy business, “Timbertoys of Vermont”, crafting and selling wooden toys throughout the country for 10 years. He developed an interest in New England architecture and historic preservation and created “Vintage Village,” which replicated New England designs in wooden miniatures. He worked as a carpenter at the Shelburne Museum for 10 years and then and as project manager for a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for another 10 years restoring and improving the utilities in historic buildings. He has now returned to crafting wooden miniatures and calls his business “Vintage Village Designs by David Furlong.”

ITEM(s) COME FROM A PET AND SMOKE-FREE HOME

REVIEW ALL SHIP OPTIONS BEFORE CHECKING OUT BECAUSE USING THE "DEFAULT" METHOD WILL NOT ALWAYS THE BEST OPTION (especially if pkg is large, heavy, or items will travel a great distance).

ITEMS SHIP OUT IN 1-3 BUSINESS DAYS OF PAYMENT. ALL ITEMS ARE CAREFULLY PACKAGED FOR SAFE TRANSIT.

NOTES ABOUT MULTI-PURCHASES, COMBINED SHIPPING, AND QUANTITY DISCOUNTS: I OFFER COMBINED SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, FOR SAFETY REASONS, THAT OPTION MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WITH OVERSIZED, VERY HEAVY, OR DIFFERENTLY SHAPED ITEMS. WHILE A LISTING MAY OFFER A QUANTITY DISCOUNT, IF AN OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED AT A LOWER PRICE, THE QUANTITY DISCOUNT IS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED. IT WILL BE MY DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO OFFER AN ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT BASED ON THE OFFER PRICE.

eBAY MAKES NO SHIP-COST OR BOX-SIZE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN PURCHASING MULTIPLES OF THE SAME ITEM ON ONE LISTING. THEY ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED WHEN THEY BILL A BUYER AND NO LONGER SEEM TO GIVE A SELLER THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND A REVISED INVOICE TO REFLECT “ALL” DISCOUNTS. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE OVERCHARGED, AND IF THAT HAPPENS, I WILL GLADLY REFUND YOU THE DIFFERENCE AFTER YOUR PKG IS FINALIZED AND I AM ABLE TO DETERMINE IF A REFUND IS DUE.

IF YOU PURCHASE ITEMS FROM TWO OR MORE OF MY LISTINGS, ALSO USE YOUR CART BECAUSE THE SAME DISCOUNTS AND REFUND SCENARIO WILL ULTIMATELY APPLY (however, in this case, the quantity discount may not automatically be applied and will be calculated by me after your purchase to determine the overall refund you will receive).

NOTES ABOUT SHIPPING AND REGISTERED ADDRESSES: I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY AND SHIP ONLY WITHIN THE U.S. OR TO ONE OF ITS PROTECTORATES (e.g., Puerto Rico).

I DO NOT SHIP TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE REGISTERED w/eBAY BECAUSE BUYER/SELLER PROTECTION MAY BE VOIDED. IF YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS IS A POST OFFICE BOX, BUT YOU WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOWER SHIP COST FROM FED EXP OR UPS, YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR “SHIP-TO” ADDRESS BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE.

IF YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS IS OUTSIDE THE U.S. BUT YOU SHIP WITHIN THE U.S., EBAY STILL CHARGES SELLERS A 1.65% INT’L FEE. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNFAIR PRACTICE SINCE WE DO SHIP WITHIN THE U.S., SO I NO LONGER WISH TO ABSORB THAT FEE. IF THIS APPLIES TO YOU, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE. I WILL ADD A HANDLING FEE TO COVER THE ADDITIONAL COST (that cost will vary based on the “total cost” of transaction--item cost, ship cost, and tax). IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE WITHOUT PAYING THE ADDITIONAL FEE, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND ME THAT AMOUNT THROUGH PAYPAL BEFORE YOUR ITEM IS SHIPPED. IF YOU DO NOT, THE TRANSACTION WILL BE CANCELED.

I STRIVE TO DESCRIBE ALL ITEMS ACCURATELY, BUT HONEST MISTAKES HAPPEN. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH AN ITEM YOU RECEIVE, PLEASE OFFER ME THE COURTESY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND DON’T LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR INVOLVE eBAY WHICH CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT MY SELLER RATING. I AM A REPUTABLE SELLER WHO WILL WORK WITH YOU TO RESOLVE A VALID ISSUE (just read my Feedback and you will see the type of seller I am).
