Please understand that it is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm compatibility prior ordering. This compatibility should be obtained by comparing the model and part number of the item from the listing to the one that the customer is attempting to replace. We only guarantee the compatibility if the part number is an exact match to the one that is being replaced. OFFER We do not typically take offers on our items. In the rare instance that we receive an offer, we will review it and will only respond to offers that will be accepted. If you don’t hear back, your offer is not acceptable. Please do not submit an offer or multiple offers on the hope one may get accepted. ORDERS Our system will combine order automatically if they fall within a set of guidelines. If you place multiple order in a short time period (roughly two hour window) and they are going to identical shipping addresses and are purchased from the same user ID, you order will be combined together for shipping purposes.
