DC4U Postage & Packaging Explained
Why we charge no P&P or a flat rate, and why it costs so much more to DC4U
Myth Busting Postage and Packaging - used with kind permission from Royal Mail From 1 September, I am reverting back to first class postage inclusive with item price - so please bear with me, whilst I update everything!
UK – First Class Recorded Delivery P&P DC4U charges £0.00 for recorded First Class P&P Additional items are also free of charge.
BUT – First Class Recorded Delivery – the Actual cost to DC4 First Class Recorded Delivery for 250 grams = £2.37 First Class Recorded Delivery for 500 grams = £2.89 First Class Recorded Delivery for 1 kg = £4.00 - and this does not include any packaging etc
I will post all purchases same or next working day For same day despatch payment is required before 4pm please. Royal Mail aim to deliver the next working day after dispatch
EU - Air International Signed For Delivery P&P DC4U charges £6.00 for International Signed For EU P&P Additional items are then £3 per item
BUT –Actual Cost to DC4U is the EU Airmail price + £3.70 (for the tracking) EU Air Signed 200 grams = £1.82 + £3.70 = £5.52 EU Air Signed 500 grams = £3.54 + £3.70 = £7.24 EU Air Signed 1 kg = £6.29 + £3.70 = £9.99 - and this does not include any packaging etc
If you required Air EU as your delivery option, I will post same or next working day. Royal Mail suggest allowing 7 to 14 days to arrive
NON EU - Air International Signed For Delivery P&P DC4U charges £7.00 International Signed For Non EU P&P Additional items are then £3 per item
BUT –Actual Cost to DC4U is Non EU Airmail price + £3.70 (for the tracking) NON EU Air Signed 200 grams = £2.94 + £3.70 = £6.64 NON EU Air Signed 500 grams = £6.51 + £3.70 = £10.21 NON EU Air Signed 1 kg = £12.26 + £3.70 = £15.96 - and this does not include any packaging etc
If you required Air Rest of World as your delivery option, I will post same or next working day. Royal Mail suggest allowing 14 to 21 days to arrive
