Payment

Sorry I can only accept Paypal from overseas buyers, in some cases bank to bank transfer in UK pound sterling. Cheque, postal order Paypal from UK buyers. Please acknowledge your auction purchase by responding to my initial contact within 2 days, payment is expected within five days. Please note BIN listings are payable within 24 hours unless paying UK cheque.

Shipping

I do not seek to make money from overcharging for postage but I do have to buy packaging materials/tissue etc, a few pence is added to cover this cost. Many UK items are freepost. I do strive to get it right. I will happily combine costs on more than one item to save on posting price. For your security, multiple items with a total of more than £45 posted overseas will be insured. Please wait for an invoice in this instance. All post costs are on the listing. Items are posted overseas Royal Mail small packet standard airmail OR 'signed for' service which costs £3.70 to insure up to £39 plus weight, higher value items will cost £5.75 to insure + the weight of the item. UK post is sent 1st class recorded insured up to £39 or 1st class standard. Royal Mail increases postage costs on a regular basis, obviously I have no control over these costs. Likewise I am not responsible for delayed delivery due to bad weather or strikes by postal workers, it happens from time to time ! I always obtain a receipt of posting and post asap after receipt of cleared payment. Our local post office has closed so now I have to drive to the PO, I post mainly on Tuesday & Fridays. 

I would appreciate your feedback so I know you have received and are happy with your item. I will always leave feedback in return.
