Prices
All the prices shown on this site include VAT. Postal cost can vary depending on item weight, and is displayed on each item page.

Payments
PayPal is our preferred method of payment, as it provides maximum online security. Don’t worry if you do not have a PayPal account as Credit Card payment is also accepted. These options are available when you go to pay at the checkout.

Postal Charges
All postage/delivery charges for every individual item are on the same page at the bottom of the description of the item. We use both Royal Mail and Parcel Force delivery services. All items under a postage cost of under £7.50 are sent by Royal Mail. Royal Mail does not have area restriction or charge extra as long as it is delivered to an UK address. Royal Mail will deliver to the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands for the postage price quoted on the item description page. We use Parcel Force/Business Post/DHL for any item with a postage cost £7.50 or more. Parcel Force operates zones for different parts of the UK. 90% of the items we despatch go to Parcel Force Zone 1 so the postage charges stated on the description page will be as quoted. If however you are outside Zone 1 then further charges will apply. This option can be selected from the drop down menu shown on the description page.
