SHIPPING:
UK and Eire buyers only and NO shipping to a UK PO Box.
All albums and singles are now shipped Royal Mail 2nd Class.
Due to the Royal Mail raising prices again in February, I am no longer shipping 48 hour tracked.
This is not to be tight and still charge you, this is to keep all our costs down.
(If I use 48 tracked your shipping cost = £4)
