Shipping & Packing Services

I provide an in house shipping service. Every item that is shipped is inspected counted and logged.

Postage and Packing within the U.K. is now free on all items.  The cost for postage and packing to all other Countries I have put as a standard charge which covers the cost not only of the postage but also of the materials and the time taken to package and send.

Some packing materials are re-used to cut down on impact to the environment.  

I personally pack each and every item, taking into account its size, fragility and the distance it will be travelling.  

Items are packed in layers of bubble wrap, placed in a double walled box with at least three inches of space around them in all directions, and then surrounded with polystyrene chips so that nothing can move once sealed.


Where items are traveling overseas or are particularly fragile they are double boxed, meaning they are boxed and then that box is put inside another box.  This gives even greater protection from being damage from rough handling.


I have not yet had a breakage.


Generally I use Royal Mail for shipments.  To the U.S.A. and Europe these are a Tracked and Signed for service.  For Australia fully tracked.


If a faster courier service is requested then I can accomodate that.  Simply pay at the checkout and then contact me to request a premium service.  I will then calculate the extra cost and dispatch upon payment of the balance.
