POSTAGE / SHIPPING / PAYMENT – OUR GENERAL POLICY

We ship UK or worldwide with shipping charged AT COST - no additional charge is made for packing costs unless specialist packaging material is necessary.  All lots are packed prior to the auction commencing to ensure that we can guarantee prompt despatch; as a result we cannot undertake to combine postage on multiple purchases.

UK shipments - unless you stipulate otherwise goods are shipped at purchaser’s risk, all packages weighing less than 2Kg are sent using Royal Mail's first class letter post.  A Certificate of Posting is always obtained as proof of shipment.  Parcels over 2Kg are sent by courier.  Insurance cover is available on request with the additional cost payable by the purchaser.  We pack all goods securely.

Rest of the world - goods shipped at purchaser's risk using either surface or air mail as stipulated by the buyer.  Please note: we understand that UK VAT cannot be refunded on sales of 'second hand' items to overseas customers.

Winning bidders are expected to pay promptly and ideally within three days from the end of the auction.  We aim to offer a prompt despatch service, generally shipping goods no later than the first working day after ‘cleared’ payment is received.  Where payment is made by personal cheque, goods will not normally be despatched until your cheque is cleared (around five working days from the day your cheque is banked).  Goods may be collected (during shop hours) free of any postal or shipping charges.
