We are making a loss on every single sample we send out through eBay, but at least eBay and PayPal shareholders are making a profit.
All international samples will be sent via International Standard Postal Service, either Tracked and or Signed for service which that the Post Office adds £8.10 to the eBay price, This is the price we get charged at the Post Office.
According to the post office your samples are only classed as lost after these times have elapsed. Dated from when posted not ordered.

Selling on eBay have now become so unbelievably expensive since their shareholders arrived that to compete we have to keep the prices and profits seriously low and therefore we can no longer send you these without some form of remuneration.
We really do hope you understand that it's not us that's being greedy, you need to look further afield. ... And please stop having a go at us for the cost of sending samples...
If you're looking for something simpler then please send me a message or search our eBay shop as we're bound to have what you're looking for. For afterhours info please have a look at our Car Cover T&C page.

How to order: * For samples just let us know the colours you'd like to see via ebay Message or on your Paypal slip and we'll include them, but for the actual cover. Please do not disappear as soon as you ordered this fleece as its being handmade in colours and fitted to a car that only you know. We will send you a confirmation email to your eBay registered address. Please check and reply back with the missing answers, then and only then can we have this made for you.
Shipping Costs. For the actual cover its £11.99 and is included in the eBay price you pay to cover the UK Mainland courier and packaging costs. If you live outside the UK Mainland either eBay will quote you or get in touch if you want a quicker service.
Our Pictures. All pictures shown are to be taken as examples of the quality of workmanship only. Please do not to assume that what is pictured is what you're going to receive as it's impossible to photograph everything without incurring a massive expense.
eBay Returns On eBay the seller usually loses when you hit the returns button without chatting with us first. eBay's policy is to exclude the seller from all aspects of the returns procedure, which is impractical in today's modern world. If you want a quick return then send me a message first and we can get the correct returns address to you. If you ignore this advice eBay will get you to send it to the wrong place which will delay your refund as we try to get it back and then resend it to the correct address.
... And finally.
If you have a question then please send me a message and I'll answer as soon as I see it. We are online between 12:00-ish and 22:00-ish London UK Time Monday to Friday and usually respond over the weekend too.
