Postage, Packing & Insurance
Postage charged at approximate weight of item plus weight and cost of packing. I will always obtain a certificate of posting, this gives free postal insurance for items up to £36.00. If the total value of your purchases is more than £36.00, then I will send two parcels, but I will not charge you any more for postage than if I was sending only one.
Single items valued at over £36.00 will only be sent by online trackable means, this is by special delivery in the UK and by International Signed For, for overseas. However, I will not charge you extra for this, you will only pay my normal postage rates
I always combine and discount postage whenever possible, just ask for a combined invoice when you are ready to pay, prices are shown in the table below.
Will post worldwide by airmail which takes from 5 to 7 working days.
I post by the next business day after receiving cleared payment; I post once a day, daily Monday to Friday and sometimes on Saturdays.
Please note: if buying from outside the UK then you are responsible for any import tax or duty payable on entry into your country.

Postage Costs From 6th April 2009
Royal Mail are increasing their prices within the UK from the 6th of April 2009. Overseas prices are either remaining the same as last year, or only increasing very slightly. Therefore I'm having to increase the UK prices slightly for the first time in two years, although overseas prices will remain the same.

Packaging
Unless a thimble is complete with it's own plastic box, each thimble is individually bubble-wrapped and then placed into a small perspex thimble dome, pictured below, which is layered in more bubble-wrap. Small orders are posted in padded envelopes, larger orders are posted in boxes.
Larger thimbles are sent in larger perspex domes. Occasionally a thimble is too large even for one of the larger domes, but will be securely wrapped and packed for posting.
