Frequently Asked Questions!

Do you combine postage?

The Bead Shed is always happy to combine postage, the best and fairest way  to do this is to base it on the weight of your parcel. The base price is £1.00 which includes padded envelope, bubble wrap, printed label and postage. If the item you are buying is lightweight, for example Pewter Charms, then you can get a few in the envelope without the postage changing at all.

NOTE: If you have not requested an invoice, then we have not sent one, you will be looking at the automated invoice, which will be incorrect,

I am still bidding on other items, is it ok to wait until the end to pay?

Yes, of course, please do make use of combined postage and get all your items in one pack, you can bid as long as you like, all you have to do is email us when you are completely finished, then we will make up your parcel, weigh it and send a combined invoice.......

I have already requested and received an invoice but now found some more things to buy, can I add them in?

As much as we would like to say yes, at this point your order will have been collected up, bubble wrapped, sealed in an envelope to fit, a label printed, weighed into our system and is now waiting to be processed.  Please do wait until you have completely finished shopping before requesting a final total.  

I am in a hurry for my Beads, can you post them today?

We take parcels to the Post Office every weekday at 4pm, from there is it in the hands of the Royal Mail - you can request Next Day Special Delivery if you like, but this is costly and more often than not the parcel will arrive the next day anyway.

I would like a combined invoice please.

No problem at all, we work in THE BEAD SHED from 9am - 4pm weekdays (except Thursday) and Saturdays. I will work through to your request as soon as possible within these times and invoice you with your total.

Can I contact you direct?

Do you sell Wholesale?

Yes, if you are planning to buy 10 or more of any item please email me to see if there is a discount available on that item.  Some quantities may have to be ordered in especially so there may be a 7-10 days  wait for large amounts.
