Description

This auction is strictly for a buyer who understands and agrees with the item description, terms and conditions described below. Your Buy It Now or Add to cart means your agreement with them. 1. ITEM DESCRIPTION This auction is for a brand new1:43 scale* diecast ready-to-display model** of RED BULL RACING TAG HEUER RB7 SNOW RUN 2016 KITZBUHEL by MINICHAMPS. *1:43 is larger than 1:64 and smaller than 1:18 scale. The dimensions of a 1:43 scale model car are generally not precisely 1:43 of a real car. A model car is usually redesigned wider and lower to look correct. This auction is for a buyer who understands the inaccuracy of the scale. Yet MINICHAMPS is well known for its correct looking models. Please do not expect a model of different scale. As its scale is described here it is neither subject to claim, refund, replacement, return, negative / neutral feedback nor case(s) on eBay. **They have already been assembled therefore no further assembly is required for display. This is not a toy for children under 16 years to play with but a static display model for a collector of 16 years and above. Its wheels may be attached so tightly to the body that it may not rotate smoothly because they were not meant to do so. As the tight wheels are described here they are neither subject to claim, refund, replacement, return, negative / neutral feedback nor case(s) on eBay. The model comes with the following original standard contents. 1. A black plastic model base and screws that fix the model to the base. The base is exclusive for tRED BULL RACING TAG HEUER RB7 SNOW RUN 2016 KITZBUHEL with "RED BULL RACING TAG HEUER RB7 SNOW RUN 2016 KITZBUHEL" printed on the model base on the left of the model. As the model base may not fit tight enough to the case depending on the temperature, always hold the model base; never hold only the case, with a model and case over it; not upside down, to prevent a model and case from being damaged by dropping them on the floor. 2. A clear acrylic model case that fits tightly to the model base. A model case may have very minor weld lines, dust, dirt, and / or scratches from manufacturing, delivery and/or sales process. Weld lines; knit lines in other words, are what appears in a part where molten plastics meet each other as they flow from two different parts of the mold. On MINICHAMPS model case, it is usually not very obvious. As the model case may not fit tight to the base, never hold only the case alone and always hold the model base with model and case over it to prevent a model and case from being damaged by dropping them on the floor. Adhesive tapes that connect and hold the case and base together in the front and the back of the model needs to be peeled off before detaching the case from the base if necessary. An original thin clear plastic sheet wraps around the case for enhanced protection. 3. A Back cardboard Followings are what you see on the back of back cardboard.

BUY IT NOW, ADD TO CART AND PAYONEER PAYMENT I accept eBay payment only, within 3 days after your Buy It Now , Add to cart or Make Offer.. Otherwise an unpaid case will open automatically after 3 days. Here is a list of what to confirm BEFORE your Buy It Now , Add to cart or Make Offer. - You've already read through, understood and agreed with all terms and condition described here. - Your Payoneer currency balances and the ability of your payment within 3 days. - You've already registered your correct eBay shipping address in correct spelling with the name of your country which is critical for international shipping but often forgotten. Generally shipping to your work address causes more issues than to your home. It is easy to change so please register your home address if possible. - You or someone you've already asked to receive your packet will be at your eBay shipping address during the estimated delivery period calculated more precisely than eBay estimate. See INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING section below for the calculation or ask me to do it for you. Otherwise you've already applied for Forward Mail service at your local post during the estimated delivery period. - You've already asked me for your shipping upgrade via eBay message if necessary. - You've already received the price for the upgrade from me via eBay message. - You've already notified me your final decision on the upgrade via eBay message. Please complete your ebay payment for the item first and then wait for my Payoneer invoice for the upgrade. My handling time starts when you complete your payment for the upgrade. - You agree that import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the your responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be. 3. PACKING Your item will be securely protected by single-layer bubble wrap firmly sealed by 7 pieces of 1/2 inch wide adhesive tapes. Then it will be packed in a single-layer corrugated cardboard box sealed with 7 pieces of 2 inch wide adhesive tapes. These tapes cover all 12 edges at least twice and all 8 corners at least three times making the box very difficult to destroy. The specification of the packing is subject to change anytime without notice depending on the feedback from buyers and availability of the material. 4. POSTING Your item will be posted within 5 business days after your payment at nearby 24/7 "Larger Distribution Center" of Japan Post, only 4 miles away from my location, 1 of only 22 post offices in Tokyo's 23 wards that opens 24 hours, to minimize the delivery time, never at a "Standard Post Office" which average ebay seller in Japan uses everyday for convenience. Please search Japan Post on Wikipedia for the difference between the 2 types of postal facilities. To check the posting status please click on "MyeBay" at the top right of the page, then "Purchase history" on the left of the page under "Activity" tab and finally see if a box-shaped icon on the right of your item in "Orders" section is activated in black. I mark the item as "shipped" on eBaywithin 1 day after posting so you should see it within 6 business days after your payment. I will take photos of your packet at Japan Post service counter for my own shipping record regardless of your request for them or a tracking number. I will provide them to you via eBay message UPON YOUR REQUEST for your peace of mind. I consider them also as an important proof of posting especially when a tracking number is not requested. This auction is for a buyer who respects them as a proof of shipping and is encouraged by them to wait patiently for the long delivery. They will show: 1. An exclusive white certificate stamp issued only at a Japan Post service counter with price, name of the office and date printed on it with red ink, and / or regular stamps with cancellation stamp by Japan Post; Either way it proves when and where your item was posted. 2. Your eBay registered shipping address correctly printed on the packet; This proves that it was not shipped to a wrong address unless you provide me with a wrong address 3. Background that shows it was taken at a Japan Post service counter If this is not enough and you still want to track your packet or you don't trust in the postal service, because of your bad experience in the past for example, please ask for a tracking number BEFORE your payment. Ebay recommends a tracking number however it is not mandatory. Please see ebay rules for yourself. 5. TRANSPORT INSIDE JAPAN If your eBay shipping address is outside Japan, your packet will then be transported directly to Tokyo International Post Office, only 12 miles away from the Larger Distribution Center, one of only 6 international post offices in Japan which are combined with customs that all international packets must go through. According to the tracking records it takes only 0.4 day average for your packet to arrive at Tokyo International Post Office after posted and another 1.4 days average to go through the customs and then to leave the office. It will then be transported to either one of Japan's two primary airports, Narita, only 41 miles away or Haneda, only14 miles away both from Tokyo International Post Office. Over 60% of international flights in Japan depart from these airports and with these two combined Tokyo has the third busiest city airport system in the world, after London and New York. I have the advantage of location for quick shipping over most of eBay sellers from countryside in Japan. If you ask for shipping upgrade it will be even quicker. Here is a comparison of tracking information for 2 EXPEDITED (EMS) packets; one posted in Tokyo by me and another posted in Osaka, the 2nd biggest city in Japan, by another seller, almost at the same time of the same day to the same address in Vancouver, Canada. They were tracked at 10:00 AM on August 12, 2015, Japanese Standard Time. A packet from Tokyo had already left from Canadian customs for the local post office in Vancouver on the day before the tracking, when a packet from Osaka didn't even arrive at the Canadian customs on the day of the tracking. Presumably this is because there was no or fewer direct flight from Osaka to Vancouver so the packet had to either wait longer in Osaka or be redirected to Tokyo. The price for EMS is same regardless of a city of posting as long as it is shipped from Japan. It is up to you a seller from which city you choose. Please note that this auction offers free AIRMAIL which will never arrive as quick as this tracking record for EXPEDITED (EMS). EXPEDITED (EMS) shipping is available only upon your request via ebay message for actual shipping difference from ECONOMY AIR SAL. This tracking record was copied and pasted from my message to the buyer of this item back then. These numbers has now became too old to be tracked on any tracking site in the world.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING If your eBay shipping address is outside Japan, this item will be shipped internationally from Japan which will take much longer than domestic shipping that you may be more familiar with. Please specify the date you need this item first and then choose an appropriate shipping method that suits your need or ask me to choose one for you. The default shipping method is AIRMAIL for a buyer who prefers low price and who has patience for long delivery and confidence in the postal system. AIRMAIL sometimes takes longer than 1 calendar month = 30 calendar days which doesn't suit someone in a rush. This auction is for a buyer who agrees not to request for a faster shipping method and wait patiently for the item to arrive without leaving a negative feedback or open a case on eBay, or who agrees to send a request for a faster shipping method to me before your Buy It Now, Add to cart or Make Offer. I receive feedback such as fast shipping or slow shipping which is not much to do with my service except I can post your item quickly. It is you who choose fast shipping or slow shipping and I will follow your choice. For countries where AIRMAIL is not available, it will automatically be upgraded to faster E-PACKET: STANDARD (AIRMAIL) WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, without notice with no extra fee. Please ask for the availability of AIRMAIL to your country if necessary before your Buy It Now, Add to cart or Make Offer. 6-1. AIRMAIL FOR FREE AIRMAIL takes 11 to 23 business days for delivery + 5 business days for handling = total of 16 to 28 business days EXCLUDING Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. It means 14 - 21 calendar days INCLUDING Saturdays and Sundays and EXCLUDING public holiday if purchased on Saturday, Japanese Standard Time for example. The estimated delivery automatically calculated by eBay and shown on this page is usually inaccurate which is contradictory to "5 - 10 business days"; what eBay defines for "Standard Shipping from outside US" which is what a seller sees on "edit listings" page, so please do not hesitate to ask me for more accurate estimate of the delivery period. It will take even longer in case of delay caused by severe weather, congestion, strike, custom control and so forth. For the latest news on international mail via Japan Post please visit https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/index_en.html 6-2. FASTER SHIPPING AS AN OPTION If you're in hurry or don't have patience to wait for your packet for 14 - 21 calendar days, please ask for a faster shipping method* for actual shipping increase** before your eBay payment***. * I offer all shipping methods that Japan Post offers. However the availability, delivery time and price vary depending on the country of destination. Other carriers including FEDEX are not offered as they will take longer to post at much fewer / farther service stations and costs much more than Japan Post for equivalent service. Available upgrade from Japan Post is EXPEDITED (EMS) with tracking which takes 1 to 4 business days, 4 to 6 business days less than AIRMAIL excluding handling time, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. For official comparison of shipping methods by Japan Post please visit https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/dispatch/index_en.html ** I will not make any profit on shipping upgrade not even one cent. Ebay Final Value Fee and Payoneer Fee will be added to the difference in Japanese Yen and the conversion to US Dollar will be made under current Payoneer exchange rate. *** Please ask for it BEFORE your eBay payment because your item can be posted at any moment AFTER your eBay payment and your request can be too late for me to accept as a shipping method of already-posted item is impossible. 6-3. IN CASE OF LATE DELIVERY This auction is for a buyer who agrees to follow the steps described below in case of late delivery. 6-3-1. RECONFIRMATION OF eBay shipping address First please login to eBay and confirm that your eBay shipping address used for the transaction of the item of the late delivery is up-to-date. This address may not be your current eBay shipping address if you've changed it after your payment. Any change made AFTER your eBay payment is not reflected to your transaction of the item no matter how soon the change was made after your eBay payment. That's why your correct shipping address has to be registered on your eBay account BEFORE your eBay payment. If you notice that your eBay registered shipping address used for the transaction is permanently or temporarily ineffective, please apply for "Forward Mail" service available from your local post as soon as possible. If your leave a negative feedback on eBay, open an eBay case or your packet is returned back to me without your notice because of your wrong eBay shipping address, your ebay ID may be blocked from my auctions otherwise in case of your further purchase after changing your ebay ID, both your name and shipping address may be subject to immediate cancellation; immediate refund without shipping, and your new ebay ID will also be blocked from my auctions. 6-3-2. ACCURATE ESTIMATION OF DELIVERY PERIOD After the confirmation of your eBay shipping address on the eBay Order details, second step is knowing if it is really late. Please refer to the dates given above in AIRMAIL section or FASTER SHIPPING section depending on the shipping method of your choice and count the actual delivery which is usually longer than ebay's generic estimate. Please do not forget to add my handling time, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays of your country, state, prefectures and any other local authorities which made your local post out of service, to 5 - 10 business days in case of AIRMAIL to know the actual "calendar days". Also please visit a web site of your local post such as USPS, Royal Post, Canadian Post, La Poste and so forth for the information on potential delay. As soon as ebay's estimated delivery period is over please post a message to me to ask me for - actual handling time; date of posting - Japanese holidays at the beginning of the shipping; usually within a week after posting - information on postal delay in Japan provided by Japan Post web site - how long my other packets are taking to your country or to your area if the information is available so that finally together we will be able to conclude a realistic end date of the estimated delivery period. 6-3-3. VISITING YOUR LOCAL POST There are many undelivered mail due to your absence at your eBay shipping address, especially during summer. Please ask me for estimate of delivery period more accurate than what ebay offers BEFORE your eBay payment. If you're not sure if you or someone on behalf of you will be able to receive your packet at your eBay shipping address during the period, please upgrade to faster shipping method to bring the delivery forward or ask me to hold your item without shipping to postpone the delivery. If someone has always been at home and you're still experiencing some delay, then your local post ( UPS Access Point in the US ) might've failed to leave a notice of delivery ( InfoNotice for UPS ) or it is so small that you might've thrown it away with other junk mails in your post box. Your local post office have to hold your packet for at least 1 week after they receive it without shipping it back to me. Please visit your local post office IN CHARGE OF DELIVERY TO YOUR ADDRESS, not just any post office nearby, with your ID and photos of your packet in search of your packet once a week starting from a day after the end of your estimated delivery period that we have already concluded. Many buyers found their packet this way and this is worth trying. If you don't find it at your second visit; minimum of 8 days after the end date of the estimated delivery period, I will be happy to refund your payment upon your request via eBay message. Your eBay ID, name and address will be blocked from my auctions until you receive your item, make your payment for it again and leave a positive feedback on the item You can also choose not to receive a refund for a period of time you decide, wait for your packet without being blocked from my auctions and keep purchasing further items from me. However until you receive your item of the late delivery and leave positive feedback on the item, your purchase of a tracking number will be mandatory for each further packet shipped to you. You can avoid all these problems by asking me for a tracking number before your payment so please consider it. If you take one of the following actions first before posting a message to me to resolve a problem such as slow delivery and before my reply to your message, your ebay ID may be blocked from my auctions otherwise in case of your further purchase after changing your ebay ID, both your name and shipping address may be subject to immediate cancellation; immediate refund without shipping. - leave a negative feedback on eBay - open an eBay case This is because if you're not happy about your item never received or received late, there might've been a potential postal / customs problem between us which should be avoided. However because you may not be always aware of my seller ID when making a future purchase, my blocking will help preventing you from purchasing from me again by mistake. 7. SELLER INFORMATION 7-1.
