Payment
Payment to be made within 7 days please. Please contact me if there are any difficulties in making a payment for any reason.
UK customers - I accept Paypal, postal orders, cheques. Overseas customers - I accept Paypal only.
Cheque/E cheque payments will be required to clear before goods can be despatched.
Multiple purchases are welcome and shipping is combined fairly to save you money. If you have purchased/won more than one item please contact me before paying through Ebay messages if you require a combined invoice or use 'request total from seller' link.
Shipping
I combine postage costs on more than one purchase. The method to do this is by weighing the items as all my items vary in size and weight.
I ship worldwide, but exemption to bid by overseas customers will sometimes be required on large/heavy items and insurance required. If the overseas postage cost to your location is not shown on my listings please contact me.
My shipping/postage costs are always very fair, this is one of the reasons why many customers return to buy from me. You will receive an email from me when your item has been despatched.
Deadlines - If you require an item next day or guaranteed to arrive by a certain date, an upgraded postal service is available at additional cost (UK only). Unfortunately Royal Mail first class service cannot be relied on as a 'next day' service. For peace of mind, stress limitation (mine and yours!!) and to avoid disappointment please consider requesting an upgraded/guaranteed postal service.
Christmas and holiday periods are an exceptionally busy time for the Post Office. Your patience and understanding are appreciated during such times. Please consider requesting a guaranteed postal service/upgrade to meet any deadlines that you may have.
Losses of items in the post are extremely rare. Customers wishing to raise claims for items not received should be prepared to co-operate in any subsequent investigations that will be required.
Please note that I do not post items at weekends. Midday/12pm on Friday is generally the cut off time for pre-weekend dispatch.
Items sent overseas, no matter how promptly sent may sometimes take several days or weeks to arrive.
Please allow reasonable time for your item to arrive!
PLEASE NOTE - I NO LONGER SHIP TO THE UKRAINE OR RUSSIA

Fair and honest Ebaying
I always trade fairly and expect customers to do likewise. Every Ebay seller has the ability to communicate with other sellers and to permanently block a buyer from bidding for any reason.
Ebay is a great place to trade. Thank you for trading fairly and honestly.
