Postage costs will obviously be renegotiated for multiple purchases. International buyers please note some items will have the option of being dispatched via ‘Standard Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packets’ or via ‘Royal Mail International Signed For Air Mail’, the second enhanced service can be tracked and is covered by the Royal Mail so is advisable for the more expensive items, the first is not.
