Due to continued problems with deliveries and customs in Italy, Russia, Ukraine parcels will have to be sent tracked and signed. This will be an additional £4.75 on top of the standard advertised postage. I don't wish to exclude these countries but with so many parcels going missing this is my only course of action. Sorry there are no exceptions to the rule. Any customs duties are down to the buyer. Payment My prefered method of payment from UK buyers is paypal but I do accept direct bank transfer, cheques or postal orders. For overseas buyers I accept paypal, bank transfer or a check drawn in GBP sterling. I require payment within a week unless I have agreed otherwise. I post my items by Royal Mail unless they are over 2kg in weight or cheaper by courier, and proof of posting is obtained. Please note that shipping to Scottish Highlands and Islands off the coast of UK incur additional postage charges. This is both with Royal Mail and courier services and mainland UK postage rates are not applicable.
All courier deliveries will require a daytime contact phone number so please provide this in the message box at checkout.Parcels to Italy and Russia will need insurance so please wait for your invoice with insurance added.
