UPS Next Day Delivery

We also offer collection-in-person from EXETER on this item; please ask.

We use a variety of Courier and Carrier services; these include UPS, Royal Mail and Parcelforce. The Courier that we use for a specific item is dictated by its size, weight and destination. We always aim to ensure we choose the quickest and best value-for-money option. Where ‘free postage’ or ’24 hour’ or ‘Next Day’ is stated, the Courier will usually be UPS, unless otherwise stated (please see below regarding limitations).

We aim to provide an excellent purchasing experience for all our customers and we strive to always exceed our customers’ expectations. Please read ‘the small print’ below:

We deliver to the following destinations only by prior arrangement: Northern Ireland, Eire, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Far North Scotland, Scottish Islands, Orkney, Shetland, and Hebrides. We require prior arrangement because sometimes our Couriers/Carriers charge a surcharge for these destinations or are unable to deliver to that location; we are happy to dispatch to these destinations but we will pass-on the surcharge costs (if any) to the buyer. Please ask us for a delivery quote for these destinations before purchase. If you do not contact us we will dispatch using the best value delivery service available which may be a slower service, using a different Courier, than that shown in the listing.

We feel that our P&P charges are fair and good value for money; the P&P charge as shown in the listing includes all packaging, labels and our travel to the Courier Hub.

For all purchases we require payment via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction-end. We are able to accept ‘cash on collection’ or ‘cash on delivery’ where collection/delivery in person has been arranged with us prior to the end of the listing. Failure to pay within this 48 hour period, unless by prior arrangement, will result in us opening a ‘non-payment case’ with eBay. We will usually send one payment-reminder message, after which the Unpaid Item Case will be opened automatically.

The nature of the goods we sell sometimes means that there can sometimes be inevitable minor cosmetic wear; the goods we sell are pre-owned and used. We try to ensure that any major faults are described in either the main listing or the condition report; it is essential that the “seller notes” are read by prospective buyers. The vast majority of our items are of a vintage or antique nature and as such can be anything from 20 to 200 years old. Please feel free to discuss your requirements with us. We are happy to seek a resolution should you have any issues with your purchase.
