I try to post as soon as possible, so the sooner you pay, the sooner I can post and the sooner you will receive your items. To keep cost down I normally post 2nd class Royal Mail, but if you want for £1 extra you can upgrade to 1st class Royal Mail. You will see an option to do that while paying via PayPal. I do not earn money on P&P like some sellers do. More valuable items will be posted via tracked service, 1st class Royal Mail or similar, please check above for specifics.
To keep costs to a minimum I use recycled packaging, and I do combine postage. If you buy more than one item I will always try to fit it in into a small parcel, so you can save some money. If you want more than one item simply put all of them in the shopping basket and ask for a total.
I always keep proof of postage so that I can apply for any lost parcels on your behalf. However, bear in mind that due to a high number of false claims Royal Mail will investigate each claim and they might contact you with some questions. If they refund me, I will be able to refund you as well. But please, be patient as this process takes time.
I package carefully, and I do not put too much tape so that unpacking is as hassle-free as possible. If the parcel is damaged on arrival, please let the postman know. And then check the goods. If they got damaged let me know and provide photos of damaged parcel and goods, so I can apply for compensation if relevant.
