We pack all orders carefully with additional board inners and paper (where/when needed) to ensure your order arrives as described in the listing.


Worldwide Shipping - In most cases postage is quoted but please inquire about postage rates to your country before placing a bid or a ‘Buy it Now’ order if not shown on the listing.


Deliveries sent via Courier to Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles, Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands and Northern Ireland may incur a surcharge due to the additional costs to send to these destinations. Once item payment has been received an eBay invoice will be sent for payment of the fee. Alternatively buyers can request an amended invoice before payment.


PO Box addresses – Most items over 2kgs cannot be delivered to these type of addresses as our courier company needs a home or business street address for delivery. Please inquire if delivery is possible to your PO Box address if this is the case.

Please be aware of this when ordering items as we will not be held responsible for any additional charges to release goods on your behalf.


If your order has not arrived within in its estimated time, it might be that delivery has been attempted and it is being held at your local Post Office collection point or left with a neighbour. If your item is not being held at the collection point then your order may have been delayed or lost in the postal system. In which case, please allow 5 working days after the estimated delivery time and if your item has still not arrived please contact us.
