VTG 1950's SCHUCO TRICKY MONKEY YES-NO MECHANICAL APE 18" WORKS

Description

I will ship your order with one day handling, but I have to extend the handling time to 15 days, because of the global pandemic situation. Due to the new virus situation we are experiencing very large delays in international shipping transfer and deliveries. Delays are caused due to the scarcity of international commercial flights and due to the low volume of postal handling in destination countries. So, everything is very very slow. Even priority shipping and express shipping are very very slow and take at least 4-6 weeks to arrive and even more for economy shipping. So, please kkep that in mind account before ordering.

USA buyers due to the search of forbidden substances there are some delays in shipping, up to 8 weeks delivery, so if you want a faster delivery option, please ask me for priority mail quote, it will delay up to 10 business days and is cheaper than FEDEX.
