Postage

Delivery cost and times

UK Delivery Charges.

Max £7.95 for most areas

We do all that we can to keep our P&P charges low and where possible we specify Royal Mail Second Class Post. This applies to all items and combined purchases weighing up to 1Kg.

If you need your items in a hurry please request a price for first class post before making payment.

For individual items weighing over 1Kg but under 2Kg we use Standard parcels and costs for this are shown in the listings. This cost is valid for any UK postcode with the exception of the Channel Islands where royal mail do not offer a Standard Parcel Service and items over 1Kg have to go by First Class Mail. For deliveries to the Channel Islands please contact us for a cost before making payment.

For Individual items weighing over 2Kg we use a 48/72 courier service, normally Fedex, and a signature will be required on delivery.

We can ship up to 25Kg for no additional P&P and in the event your order exceeds 25kg we will not charge for a second parcel.

Deliveries to the following postcodes incur a premium charge and you need to contact us first for a price.

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland

Postcodes IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-44, PH49-50, ZE.

Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly

Postcodes BT, IM, TR21-25.

Combined Shipping

Where possible we will always combine shipping based on weight but this is not always possible and due to Royal Mail's Pricing in proportion it is often cheaper to send 2 small packets than 1 parcel, or 2 large letters rather than one packet.

In most cases eBay automatically calculates shipping discounts but there are limitations to the system so please check before making payment if you feel the P&P charges displayed are high.

As our P&P charges are made very clear before you commit to buy, please do not mark us down in feedback. We strive for 5 stars in all categories.

Shipping times

All items listed in our shop are available for immediate shipping. If payment is received by 12 noon we aim to ship the same day. Payments received after 12 noon will normally be shipped on the next working day.

Deliveries outside of the UK

We are pleased to consider delivery outside of the UK but cost for this can be quite high.

For individual items or combined shipments under 2Kg we ship by Royal Mail Airmail small packets. Costs vary by weight and destination so please contact first. We may also need to change the listing to permit international buyers.

In order to comply with PayPal seller protection it may also be necessary to ship by a signed for service which adds an additional £4 to the shipping costs.

For parcel weights over 2kg shipping costs are significantly higher and in many cases make it commercially

nonviable to ship.

VAT

We are a VAT registered Company and as such have no choice but to charge VAT on Postage. VAT is always included in the price displayed on the listing but please bear in mind when rating our P&P charges that for every £1 you have paid on postage, 15p goes straight to the Government and a further 3.5p goes to PayPal in fees.
