When I am posting delicate items I prefer special delivery as this may be slightly more but safer and quick. Please note I do not normally post overseas, this is due to the costs to the buyer can be very expensive if heavy Please ask if you wish me to consider as I would need to recalculate. If there is a problem please contact me via message I always leave feedback when I have received feedback Thank you for looking |
