The brackets measure 8.5 inches tall by 1.5 inches wide and is .75 inches deep. Overall, each sign is 26.75 inches long.    C.   CONDITION The condition of these pieces is excellent throughout.  There is the normal type of wear you would see from something attached to a post for several years, but these signs are high quality pieces, with a thick protective coat that has successfully protected the signs from the weather conditions. They are rust free, and free of dents or bends.  I consider the pictures provided as an integral part of the condition report, so please examine them carefully.     D.   SHIPPING COSTS/TERMS SHIPPING COST FOR THIS ITEM IS $22.50  This quote is for the Continental U.S. only, and the item will be sent via UPS or FedEx. This charge includes all costs including quality packing, shipping fees, & full insurance at the purchase price.  International shipping is available, but prior permission by the seller is required before you bid.    E.   ITEM INSPECTION/RETURN POLICY  RETURN/REFUND POLICY:  We offer a full refund policy, but we must be contacted through eBay within 3 days after receiving the item. If a refund is requested, the buyer is to pay shipping both ways. The refund will be made once the item is back in our possession, and that it arrives in the same condition that it was sent. Furniture that is sent via private shipper or Greyhound is non-refundable due to the prohibitive cost of shipping & packaging the items.                                  HAPPY BIDDING and GOD BLESS Payment Back to Top       I accept the following forms of payment: PayPalMoney OrderPersonal CheckMastercard/Visa Discover     FREE scheduling, supersized images and templates.
