Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Purchase an Item Listed on this Website?
If you wish to purchase an item listed on this website, please contact us using the form beneath each listed item.
Because so many of our items are sent to overseas buyers (we ship from Texas) it is difficult to ascertain S&H fees in advance, hence the extra step of contacting us first.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your Privacy
We value your privacy.
We shall not display your contact information, nor will we sell it.
Your contact information, purchase history, and any other correspondence will never be shared with anyone.
Where's the Buy Now / Pay Now Button?
A ‘Buy Now’ button is not included on any of our listings because many of our purchasers are overseas. This makes it very difficult to estimate the shipping fees in advance.
When you contact us to purchase an item we’ll request your shipping address so we can calculate the shipping fees in order to send you an invoice.
We always combine shipping on multiple listings.
Shipping
Everything is shipped from Texas. Typically we ship USPS Priority Mail within the US with tracking, but if you have a shipping preference please advise us. Insurance is added if requested.
Heavy book sets are often shipped via USPS Media Mail which is is considerable less expensive. Insurance is added if requested.
We always combine shipping on multiple purchases.
For overseas shipments FEDEX, USPS Priority Mail or UPS are used depending on your preference and the country the shipment is being sent to.
We’ll ship your purchase within 24-48 hrs of receiving your cleared payment; often it is the same day. You will be notified at that time.
Rest assured your items are always very well packed. Often times we double box to make sure your Churchill purchase arrives in the condition it was sent.
Payment
We accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo & Zelle. We do not accept credit cards since we are not a business, and cannot process them but you can always pay with your credit card via PayPal (even if you don’t have an account).
For higher priced items we request payment be made via a Domestic or International *Wire Transfer. Alternatively a cashier’s check can be sent. For established buyers in the US, a personal check suffices.
*Depending on the situation we often reimburse you the Wire Transfer Fee.
Consignments
Sorry, we do not accept items on consignment. Emails and phone calls related to such inquiries will not be answered/returned.
Sometimes I post a follower’s item on Facebook with the understanding that I’ll forward the relevant information of an interested buyer to the owner. I am not part of the transaction, nor do I take a fee if a transaction actually takes place.
Whether or not I publish a Churchill item belonging to someone else on my Facebook page is 100% my decision.
