EU buyers - please note that you may be charged VAT or other import fees, either at the point of sale or before delivery. Please consider this before bidding, as shipping costs will not be refunded if you do not accept delivery.
UK POSTAGE: All shipping is via some form of Registered Post. All items are securely packed. UK Postage is via First Class Recorded or Special Delivery. Recorded items are insured only up to £50 in value. Please use Special Delivery option for more valuable items. Insurance up to £500 is included with Special Delivery price.
SPECIAL DELIVERY IS USED BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF INSURANCE AVAILABLE FOR ANTIQUE ITEMS, NOT FOR SPEED OF RECEIPT. I can't get to the Post Office every day, however items are usually dispatched within 5 days of cleared payment, generally on the Saturday - Tuesday following the auction.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE:I will post worldwide, using International Signed For (Airmail) or courier (for heavier items). I will not post by Surface or unregistered Airmail, please don't ask! I use large bubble and strong boxes to pack. Couriered packages of ceramics/glass/ antiques cannot at present be insured for damage.
Overseas buyers are reminded that they are responsible for any import duties or fees. Antique items are generally free of import duty in most countries, but please check the regulations where you are. I cannot falsify Customs declarations.
