INCLUDE
insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do
NOT
insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what
YOU
pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the
ACTUAL
shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.
One of the interesting things about this bottle is that the box was made and originally designed for a completely different bottled product (HERBINE) which was put out by the same company. It looks like a paper wrapper was made for this Horse Liniment product and pasted over the old box but is now starting to come off. Evidently, the company must of had a ton of old unused Herbine boxes so instead of order and purchase newly made boxes for this product, they just had a paper wrapper printed up and then pasted over the old unused Herbine boxes. You just have to love this stuff! Anyway, a great antique veterinary bottle here, it is embossed “HORSE LINIMENT”, the label reads “HORSE and CATTLE LINIMENT”, it is still corked with FULL CONTENTS, and comes in the original, aforementioned box, making this a pretty desirable antique veterinary item and a tough act to follow,
