POSTAGE Please read this bit:
I use Royal Mail as they are the only courier to insure fragile items. Please do not message me to tell me I can get my postage cheaper no other courier insures ceramics. Please note dispatch takes 3-4 working days to dispatch, although where possible I aim to dispatch within 1-2 days, I need to make sure your item is packed adequately. On top of that your courier service takes up to 3 working days to deliver too. All items should display their tracking number.
If you need your item by a certain timeframe please contact me before purchase and we can explore options.
If you live on non-mainland UK or the Highlands, please note your package may take longer to arrive and not necessarily meet the eBay deadline due to some areas taking 5 working days to deliver to. Also, your package may be sent by alternative courier.
As all my items are Buy it Now and require immediate payment. If you buy multiple items, I will, where possible, combine postage and issue a refund once I have wrapped all the items and purchased postage.
OVERSEAS BUYERS:
For overseas I post through eBay Global Shipping Programme (GSP) who sort all customs requirements out. If your country is not listed, please DO NOT contact me for postage rates and do not bid. I am sorry I cannot post to that location and your sale will be cancelled. Additionally, the postage rate for abroad is set by eBay via Global Shipping Programme not me so I am not responsible for the cost.
Unfortunately, I cannot combine postage for GSP - however, if you contact me regarding all the items you are interested in I can create a bespoke eBay listing with all the items and one postage cost on it, which should help you!

I pride myself on how I pack my items which is reflected in my feedback. All items are wrapped in multiple bubble wrap, the box is lined with protective materials such as air pockets, polystyrene sheets, foam and filled with eco beads to protect the items.
