I am always happy to combine postage for multiple purchases

POSTAGE NOTE: I would love to be able to send all my items by basic post, although in the past when things have gone astray, as the Ebay seller, I've always been responsible for refunding the buyer, regardless of the proof of postage etc.  Therefore, I lose the item, the postage costs and any profits, even though I have proof of postage.  So now I always, without exception, send all items by insured means - so that's recorded delivery or Hermes Tracked in the UK and International Signed For or Tracked and Signed, overseas.  It helps guarantee delivery, and someone has to sign for it at the other end.  More expensive, but safer all round.  Also, postage prices have gone up significantly time and time again, so please check the postage cost before bidding.  Many thanks.

I have added further photographs so all details of the box can be examined by interested parties.  When looking closely at the base I discovered that there are splits to the short bottom edges of the box, adjacent to the base, which I have photographed - however, all corners are good.
