POSTAGE COSTS

POSTAGE AND PACKING CHARGES

Postage and Packing is Extra on all Order Totals (Please see below)

THIS IS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

BY PLACING AN ORDER FROM THIS SITE YOU ARE AGREEING TO MY TERMS AND CONDITIONS (see link above)
THIS APPLIES PARTICULARLY IN RELATION TO OUR POSTING AND INSURANCE POLICY.
Please indicate your chosen Postage Service clearly either at the SECURE CHECKOUT for Internet orders or on the printed ORDER FORM or in your letter if sending by post.
If no indication is given then I will use the following services by default.
For Overseas Postings a Signed For Service is mandatory for order values over the specified amount, except for African countries that have separate conditions.
............................................................


YOUR CHECKOUT TOTAL
Please note: Your checkout total does NOT include the cost of Posting or Insurance where required. Due to the vast difference in the weight of stock items (One stamp in it's envelope can weigh 20g whereas a packaged Year Book can weigh 800g) it is not possible to work out the cost of orders until I have processed them.
............................................................

INSURANCE
Due to Royal Mail imposing any rule they can think of in order to avoid paying compensation for lost items of post, I am now providing my own arranged Insurance and so the postage applied to your package may not be as much as the cost of the charges made. The level of Insurance that I now offer is much higher and you will be paid as long as it is not proven to be a fraudulent claim. More importantly to me in honesty is the fact that so will I, which has not been the case with Royal Mail of late!
Details are set out below under the relevant sections.
Please note that Payment of compensation may be subject to the Insurance Company making checks on any previous claims you may have made in relation to non receipt of goods and may not be paid if they believe your claim to be fraudulent.

ALL AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
Due to the appalling number of instances of theft using International Signed For, this service is no longer available for any order sent to any African Country. There seems to be no problem using the basic air mail service.
