Also, i want to let u know that i will instructing a client of mine to issue payment for the FURNITURE with a cashier or money order check, and the check will exceed the asking price for the FURNITURE. So, the exceeding funds will be transfered to the shipping agency for the shipping arrangements.
I will be needing the following details for the payments to be issued for the FURNITURE.

Once you get back to me with all the above, the Money Order will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you .
