Postage I always try to keep postage costs to the minimum, which I realise keep increasing, but if you bid on items, I take it that you're accepting these. I take time trying to make sure all items reach you in the same condition they leave me ie securely packaged with if necessary several layers of packing materials.
I will always try to post out to you next day though I suggest it may occasionally be two working days. I always get a Post Office Proof of Posting certificate. If at all worried or it is a valuable item, do ask for Recorded Delivery - £1.10 extra in the
