Postage Costs
Our postage charges are based on Royal Mail's current postage prices, with the additional of a small handling charge. This handling charge goes towards covering the costs to us of packaging, secure hosting and credit card / PayPal charges, plus staffing costs associated with maintaining our online shop and processing orders.

Our webshop software calculates postage charges based on the item's weight only: this is incompatible with Royal Mail's system which calculates postage costs based on both weight and volume. As a result the webshop may occasionally calculate incorrect postage, particularly if more than one item is ordered.

We assure you that we do endeavour to keep postage charges to a minimum and that we have done all we can to address the software incompatibility issue. We request, therefore, that you bear with us if the postage charges for your order should be either lower or higher than the actual Royal Mail postage costs.


Do My Billing and Delivery Addresses Have to Be the Same?
No they don't. Simply specify that your delivery address will be different from your billing address at the start of the checkout process and you will be offered the opportunity to enter the alternative details later in the process.


How Long Will My Order Take To Reach Me?
Delivery timescales will naturally depend upon destination and class of service selected.For standard delivery UK orders, goods will normally arrive at their destination within 2 - 3 working days. For faster delivery, a Next Day service is offered for most UK destinations.In the case of overseas orders, specific delivery timescales will quoted upon receipt of the order.
