ROYAL MAIL HAVE JUST IMPLENTED SIGNIFICANT PRICE RISES. OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS TO START ALL ITEMS AT 99p SO BIDDERS DECIDE THE VALUE OF THE GOODS AND THIS DOES NOT ALLOW US TO INCORPERATE POSTAGE PRICING INTO THE AUCTIONS (UNLESS IT IS A BUY IT NOW) SO WE HAVE TO CHARGE WHAT IT COSTS US (ROYAL MAIL CHARGE + MATERIALS + PAYPAL FEES). AN EXAMPLE OF THE PRICE HIKE IS: OLD ROYAL MAIL COST INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR TO USA WAS £7.02 THE NEW PRICES WILL BE £8.45 FOR EXACTLY THE SAME SERVICE. WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCREASE IN PRICES, THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD ABSORB THAT KIND OF PRICE INCREASE :O(

Please note that the estimated delivery quoted at the top of the auction is website’s and not ours. We do not guarantee this time frame and postal services do not either. Royal Mail will not even consider a international parcel missing until 30 working days has elapsed (15 working days for domestic) and once we have posted we have no power to speed up the postal gods. Your patience is appreciated in waiting for your item to arrive. If you need an item fast, please contact us and we can arrange a different carrier but this will involve higher postage costs.
We live in a rural location and post runs are done three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays but we do try to get things out as quick as possible.
We combine shipping!
Please advise me of any problems before leaving feedback, as all issues can and will be rectified.
