-------------------------------------
The photographs are an important and integral part of the description, so please view them carefully before bidding. And please note that, although they were taken carefully with natural light, the actual item may appear slightly different in color due to environmental lighting conditions or the settings of your monitor or screen.
Important: for purchases outside the European Union, customs duties, taxes, and any other charges are not included in the product price or shipping cost and are therefore solely the buyer’s responsibility.
About shipping: I ship only via certified and trackable couriers. I am not responsible for delays, service interruptions, or losses caused solely by carriers, external events, or customs blocks. In case of problems during transit, I will, within my means, offer maximum assistance to file claims and monitor the shipment with the courier.
