If there's more than one item you'd like from me I will always reduce the postage costs for multiple purchases. If you're buying from outside the UK, please note that most of my overseas orders are sent to you via Ebay's Global Shipping Programme of which I have no idea/input regarding their postage charges. If there's more than one item you'd like to purchase, please contact me and I can end the items and bundle them together in one listing which tends to reduce the overseas postage cost dramatically.
