Instructions for Ordering from Tymes Past
Please take time to read ordering information carefully.

Methods and Insurance:
  • I typically ship via US Postal Service.  Insurance is required for all purchases.  Shipment tracking is available at an additional fee which will be quoted in confirmation email. I will give you the option of Priority, Parcel Post or Media Mail, if it applies.  Feel free to email any questions you may have.
  • Larger items may be shipped via UPS if it is more economical.  Insurance coverage up to $100 is included with UPS shipments.  Higher insurance has a fee associated with it. If you prefer UPS, please let me know when ordering.
  • Please Note:  USPS insurance only covers the cost of the item--not the shipping costs.   This is something alot of people are not aware of.
  • Outside Continental US:  I will ship via US Postal Service to Hawaii, Alaska, APO #s-- I ship to Canada IF US Postal Service insured shipping service is available online.  If any extra fees are incurred processing payments from Canada, buyer will be responsible for these fees.

Refund Policy: 


  • Sorry but purchases are not returnable unless inadvertently misrepresented and prior approval is obtained.  Items are sold as is.  Please read description carefully and ask questions if necessary.

Sales Tax: 
  • Pennsylvania residents pay 6 % sales tax on the total sale. 

Availability:  
  • Most of the items that I have in my shop are one-of-a-kind. As such they are offered on a first come basis.

Make payable to Beverly Rupp and mail payment to:

Beverly Rupp's Tymes Past
503 Evergreen Road.
Dayton, PA  16222

Paypal:
Items paid for through Paypal are usually shipped within two business days.

I  can only accept credit cards through PayPal  (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express)   Transactions take place on a SECURE SERVER and are as safe as current technology can make them. 
  • Confirmation:  I will acknowledge receipt of PayPal payments with an email to you -- if you don't hear from me, please email me at tymespast@windstream.net.

FOR NEW PayPal USERS:  PayPal is a service that allows you to instantly send money to anyone with an email address.  PayPal is used by over 6 million members in 26 countries worldwide, and is accepted on a majority of all eBay auctions.  PayPal is completely free for US buyers to send money, and it lets you charge the payment to either your credit card or checking account.

  • Sending money through PayPal is instantaneous – which means that I can ship your purchase faster – and PayPal also increases your safety by keeping your financial account information private.  You don’t have to share your account numbers with me when you send money to me with PayPal (unlike making a typical credit card payment over the Web or even when you mail someone a check).  PayPal just sends me an email notice that the money has been transferred to my PayPal account but I never see your credit card or checking account information.  It only takes about 5 minutes to create a PayPal account and use it to send money. 

Here are the three easy steps:

  1. Go to the PayPal website (by clicking the PayPal button OR this link: https://secure.paypal.com/auction/pal=tymespast@windstream.net) and fill out their one-page registration form.  Your email address will be your username, and you’ll be asked to choose a password.
  2. PayPal will send you an email with a confirmation code in it; click on the link in the email to confirm that the email address that you registered as your username actually belongs to you.
  3. Register a credit card with your PayPal account in order to fund your first payment.  PayPal immediately gives you a $250 initial spending limit (which you can later lift by completing their Verification process). I recommend being verified.
  • Note: The steps for residents of countries other than the US to set up an account are slightly different – please see the PayPal website for details.
    • I believe it's worthwhile to take a couple of minutes to set up a PayPal account.  Once you are done, you’ll be able to quickly make any future payments and you won’t have to take time to enter in all your financial information again.  PayPal also offers a $5 bonus for US members who open an account and complete the full registration requirements. To find out more about PayPal, you can visit their website at:  www.paypal.com




Items may also be picked up at our location in Dayton, PA.  Please notify me when ordering if you plan to pick up your items and arrangements will be made.  Delivery is also available for a reasonable fee within a 30-mile radius.
