SHIPPING
What are the shipping charges? What is the shipping rate to Anytown, USA ?
Shipping and handling charges are clearly posted in the auction itself and/or at the bottom of every auction.
Currently, all charges are a flat rate that allows for postal coverage to anywhere in the continental United States. Our Shipping/Handling fee includes not only the postal fees for your package(s) but also handling, packaging supplies, warehouse costs, and administrative fees.

Do you offer combined shipping costs when I buy more than one item?
Masterline Group does not combine shipping unless stated otherwise in the auction. This is listed on all of our auctions and there are very few exceptions at this time. However, if you purchase over 5 items we may be able to offer a discount if you email ahead of time.
If you or your company has a wholesale inquiry, please email us.

How long will it take to ship my item once you receive payment?
Once payment is received, we take great pride in expediting the shipment as quick as possible. Usually we will ship your item in the next day or so after payment is received. Once your item has shipped tracking information will be emailed to you immediately when it becomes available.

Please do not email us repeatedly in an attempt to receive your item faster – this only slows down the shipping process.

Will Masterline Group ship to an address other than Mine?
Please email us immediately after you have made payment and we will try our best to ship to the designate address.
Please make sure to add the item #, your eBay user ID, and registered email address and provide us the address that you want your item shipped to.

If paying for multiple items you will need to pay for each individually and send us an email for each individual item with the correct address. Please do not count on us to read the Paypal notes as they do not always come through. We will do our best to process your request, but we cannot be held responsible if we have already shipped your item before you can supply a different address. During the holidays, it is best to let us know immediately if there is an address change.

Do you offer International Shipping?
Website Payments:
Currently, Masterline can ship to international locations under a few rules:
1. The purchase can be made as if you were a Domestic (USA) buyer.
2. The shipping and handling cost will be calculated, but only for the cost of shipping inside the continental United States.
3. IMPORTANT: You will then have to go to our International Shipping page to pay for the international s/h cost.

* This includes shipping to Puerto Rico, Alaska, Canada, APO, OR FPO Addresses.
** Another option is to send us an email stating what item/quantity you would like to purchase and we can then send you an invoice which will include the s/h cost to your country.. The invoice will allow you to pay the full amount, one time, using major credit cards (through Paypal).

Auction Payments:
Our auctions all clearly state this in big and bold letters at the bottom of the auction. Most of our items ship to Canada, Mexico, UK, and Europe - but please check before bidding.
If you bid on an item and your country is not one of the countries that we ship to, for that specific item, you may be subject to additional s/h charges.
Masterline Group also takes no responsibility for misplaced packages when shipping to unconfirmed Paypal addresses.

* Email us for a further explanation and exceptions to this international shipping rule.

International Website Customers - Temporarily, we can only accept and process your payments through 2 ways. How does it work?

> Go to the International Shipping page.

Can you send me a tracking number so I can check on the status of my item?
All items will be then be shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx with delivery confirmation and/or a tracking number so your item(s) will arrive within a timely manner. We usually ship every other day during the business week. Tracking information will be emailed to you immediately when it becomes available.
Please do not request a method of shipment, as our warehouse will always try to designate the most efficient method of delivery.

Do you schedule pickups?
No, there are almost no pickups available except for auctions where we have declared pick up as an option. Some of the larger ticket items we sell may be available for pickup only (ex. Arcade Games, Industrial & Heavy Machinery). If you need to arrange a pickup, you must pay for the item along with a handling surcharge (starting at $5.00 and up) and then we can try to schedule a pickup. The reason for no pickups is simple, we are not a storefront - just our offices and our warehouse/fulfillment center.

    PAYMENT

    How do I make a payment through your website?

    Simple, simply click to "Buy Now" and follow the process. For the moment, we accept payment using any major credit card (through Paypal), money orders, and cashier's checks, and sometimes company checks. All payment is subject to clearing before your item is shipped. Please, no cash or personal checks.

    I don't have a Paypal account, can I still purchase products?
    Yes, Paypal simply processes and clears the payment for us. You don't need a Paypal account to purchase items from the website. Simply follow the directions. If you still have problems email us, or Paypal can assist you at www.paypal.com or via phone 1-402-935-2050.

    How do I make a payment through PayPal when I win an auction?

    After the auction has ended, you will receive an email requesting you complete the transaction.
    The payment screen will offer you a PayPal Payment button. Just click on the PayPal button, and you'll be offered an opportunity to pay through a secure PayPal payment page with the item details already filled in. In turn, Paypal immediately forwards the information, and your payment is received by Masterline Group.

I’m new to eBay and I don’t have a Paypal account…can I still pay through Paypal?
Yes!
Paypal has added a new feature where you can pay securely using any major credit card even if you have never used Paypal.

How does this work?
Simply enter your personal information and major credit card number and click next. Your payment will be processed securely on Paypal's 24 bit encrypted website and then Masterline Group will receive an email saying that you have paid via Paypal. We will begin to process the order and email you when your package has shipped!
NOTE: Paypal and Masterline Group will never disclose, sell, or otherwise distribute your information in any way - please see our privacy policy for more details.

How long do I have to pay for my item?
We request payment within 7 days from the end of the auction.

You will be sent emails notifying you that you are the winner followed by a payment reminder a few days later. Unpaid auction wins will be forfeited soon after the allotted time period, so please contact us if you need to make special arrangements before we cancel the transaction. When we cancel an item, we request eBay refund us the Final Value Fees for the auction in question. EBay will provide us this refund, but they place an internal indicator on the buyer’s account.
* Three "unpaid item" marks on your eBay user account and you will be suspended as per eBay's rules - not ours. Please be careful with the status of your eBay account; it is a hassle to reinstate your account with eBay and may take 1-2 weeks!

Where else can I find your products?
Masterline Group products are featured at our website, sold at some retail stores, and at various online sales channels.

All the items are available for retail distribution and private label.

What are my payment options?
Paypal, Credit Card (through Paypal), Money order or Cashier's Check are all accepted.
Using Paypal is the quickest way for you to receive your item. Sorry, no personal checks.

AUCTION

What is your return policy?
The return policy depends on the item. Please see our return policy as stated on our “About Me” page.
We take great care in presenting the item as accurately as possible. The description of the item is based on the information available to us about the item.

We always strive to achieve complete customer satisfaction and ask that you please read the item description carefully. We will do everything possible to resolve any situation that may arise - just email us.

I don’t have time to wait…can you end the auction early so I can buy the item right now?
We will let most of our auctions run the true auction course while other items may have Buy It Now(BIN) prices on them. If you choose the BIN option the auction will end early. You will complete the checkout process as stated below and we will take care of the rest.
If you have specific requests about purchasing multiple items or if you have just missed an auction, email us and we can help you out.
NEW: You can always purchase items directly from our website also.

When does Masterline Group leave feedback for me?
Masterline Group will leave all winners positive feedback after the entire transaction is complete, and we love when the winning bidders reciprocate and leave positive feedback for us. We want to be sure we leave the opportunity for our buyers to approach us with any issues or problems up to the end of the transaction and that we have the opportunity to fix any problems that may occur between payment and receipt of the item.
We believe that feedback is the cornerstone to a tight-knit, honest eBay community and we will adhere to all principles and guidelines of eBay. We thank you for your business.

What are AS-IS Items?
Every now and again we will sell some “as is” items. These items may not be new and are clearly marked with the words AS-IS in the description. We will do our best to accurately describe all aspects of the item. Please take the time to read the whole auction and you will see it clearly if it is listed AS-IS. There are no exceptions on the returns of as-is items. We will not accept them or exchange them.

MISCELLANEOUS

Some of the pictures on the website are not very clear, do you have better pictures that we can see?
Yes, some of the pictures on each individual page are a little pixelated (we apologize). Please click on the "Click to enlarge" below the picture and you will see a full size picture that should be very clear. If you have further need for better pictures, email us and we can email you another high resolution picture.

What is the best way to email a General Question?
In our continuing effort to provide superior customer service, we have added Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ’s) to our website. Please click on the left column where it says "FAQ's". Unlike most sites, we are constantly adding new FAQ's based on the specific questions our customers ask. We try to be very customer-driven when it comes to posting FAQ's.

Please be sure to include the eBay auction #, your ebay user ID, and email address registered with eBay so we can best help you. For wholesale inquiries please type “WHOLESALE” in the subject section of the email. Send all emails to info@masterlinegroup.com
We do our best to reply to all emails within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your email.

I notice some of your products there may only be images and I can't purchase them directly off the website. How do I purchase them?
Some of the products are complicated to accurately price individually (ie. Truck Scales) and we would like to speak with our customers to make sure they are purchasing exactly what they want and need. We are also constantly offering new products based on our customers requests and we simply can't get them on the website fast enough. When in doubt, email us about what you're looking for and we'll do our best to help you out.

Will you fill wholesale orders for your products?
Yes. We currently carry a wide and ever-changing variety of products and they are all available in larger quantities. Through our relationships, we can help companies identify and source particular products based on their individual needs. We can also assist in the industrial design, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing of specific products.
Email us at info@masterlinegroup.com and please include “WHOLESALE” in the subject line.

Will you combine shipping charges?
Not usually, in order to guarantee and protect your package we do not combine shipping. Each package is handled separately as well as shipped separately. Tracking is provided per package and this will help prevent loss or damage to multiple items. For this reason, we usually do not combine shipping nor do we discount shipping for individual packages.

Do you sell or give out my personal information like email or phone number to anyone else?
No.
Masterline Group has an iron-clad privacy and security policy. We respect your wishes of confidentiality when purchasing and we will not divulge any personal information to any third party under any condition. This includes automatically gathered data such as e-mail address, cookies, and an IP address. It also includes any additional information submitted via an electronic form such as a credit card, name, address, and phone number.
