The photos are an attempt to show the quality and cuteness of the pig's expression, posture, etc. Sorry they are so large! Here's the first one...
Another angle:
And from the side (alas, blurry):
Speaking of sides, here's the side of the pig's box:
The front of the pig's box (note slight wear on the corners, which were there when it came to us):
...which opens up to reveal the certificate of authenticity, in a shallow well in the styrofoam...
Here's the certificate on its own:
Here's what the pig looks like, nestled in the styrofoam (below the certificate) which protects the delicate corners, and encased in a bag:
PACKING, SHIPPING, INSURANCE:
Like many of Disney's high-end collectibles, the Practical Pig comes in a VERY secure box with custom-molded foam around it. Within the box the pig itself would likely survive anything up to a nuclear blast. If I simply wrap its current box in brown paper it'll be under 500grams. If you'd like the aqua box ITSELF within a second box, properly bubble-wrapped, the item weighs in at under 1 kilo. It's up to you, whether you'd like to keep the box in pristine condition. See the photo page for its current look etc. I have given both sets of postage below; do not pay until we have discussed your shipping preferences. (And I'm selling a few other Disney things at the moment so check those out too and combine postage!)
Within Australia, your postage for the 500 gram option would be either $4.90 for 250-500g via regular post OR $7 via Express Post. Charges for the 1 kg option depend on your distance from NSW - email me for specifics - unless you select Express Post for $9.90. I'll put all possible options on the invoice.
Worldwide, I ship Australia Post international airmail unless you request otherwise (for example, if you want to give me your DHL or FedEx account number to charge, or would like Express Courier service, super fast for ~4x the money). Exact shipping cost will depend on our mutual exchange rates on "invoice day", but as of "posting day" shipping costs for this item would have been:
| to United States/Canada | to United Kingdom | to NZ, Asia/Pacific, all others | |
|---|---|---|---|
| under 500 g (current box in 2-3 layers of brown paper) |
USD $10.75 |
GBP £6.65 |
please inquire |
| under 1 kilo (current box INSIDE a larger box plus bubble wrap) |
USD $19 |
GBP £12.10 |
please inquire |
Insurance is required for expensive items and its final cost will depend on price paid. Australia Post offers insurance at $7.50 for the first $100 of value and $2 for each additional $100 (all amounts AUD). As an example, insurance on an item worth $100 US would be about seven US dollars (USD100 = ~AUD131, so insurance would be AUD 9.50, which is ~USD 7.22).
POLICIES:
- All items are sold AS IS; please ask all questions before you bid. I am happy to send more photos.
- I cannot always be online precisely when my auctions end but I will answer all questions posted as of 24 hours before closing. As usual, do not pay until we have discussed your packing, shipping and insurance preferences (including combining orders in a single package).
- PayPal happily accepted for all orders outside Australia. Within Australia I can either accept your cheque or give you my bank details. I use eBay's currency conversions for item prices (when available), otherwise www.xe.com (as of the time of posting or writing).
- Merchandise will be dispatched on the first business day following receipt of your full payment, and at that time I will send you whatever shipping/tracking information I have myself.
