Despatch & Shipping

 

We are a U.K. based seller. We aim to despatch all items either same or next business day.

All U.K. deliveries will be sent via Royal Mail second class post; hence please allow an absolute minimum of 4 working days for delivery (totally ignore what eBay say). Royal Mail quote up to 4 working days for 2nd class dleivery but what they don't say is that very often it takes them longer longer than 4 days, why? We have not the slightest idea what they do with it for so long.

All non-U.K. deliveries will be sent via Airmail Standard delivery without tracking unless a faster or superior service is requested and paid for.

Please Note: As any other seller, we can only despatch the item promptly; after that we are at the mercy of the delivery service(s) and hence cannot possibly control the speed at which your item will arrive.

We are often asked what is the standard time for delivery? Quite simply there is no standard time, we have had items delivered from the U.K. to the U.S.A. in 4 days , we have also had them delivered in 4 weeks and everything in between. It would be fair to say for international buyers - do not expect your item to arrive in just a few days, you will almost certainly be disappointed.

Also: Ignore any "expected delivery date". This date is set by eBay, not us, and quite simply it will almost certainly be totally unrealistic. Why do eBay do that? We really have no idea.

 

 

Customer Satisfaction Promise

 

We aim to have a satisfied customer base. Quite simply there is no other way to operate long-term; we purchase items ourselves on eBay and fully understand why it is so important.

We describe our items as fully and as detailed as possible to give an accurate and realistic idea not only of the nature of the product but also delivery etc.

However we understand that it is possible for misunderstandings to occur or for items to be delayed or lost in the post.

So if you have any issues please contact us immediately so that we can discuss how best to resolve the issue to your satisfaction.

Our experience tells us that with reasoned dialogue any issue can be easily resolved.
