DESPATCH OF GOODS
Small lightweight items will normally be sent by letter post, for items with a
value over £20 we use signature delivery, for items over £50 we use
special delivery unless otherwise requested, for items weighing less than 500g
this works out at around £3 plus the cost of signature or special delivery
fee.
For items weighing 500g to 2000g letter post is used £3-£8 plus the
cost of signature or special delivery fee. Above this weight for mainland U.K.
we will normally use Securicor who offer a very quick reliable service, for packages
under 10kg the cost is £12 including any insurance, above 10kg the cost
is around £15.
There is the Royal mail Parcel service. We do not recommend this, but if asked
we will send the items by this service. The cost of this service will be the price
of the postage plus any insurance that is requested, plus £5 to cover normal
packing and delivery to the Post Office. Fragile items are not recommended for
parcel post. Unless payment is by blank
cheque or credit card a pro forma invoice will be issued on all Royal Mail parcel
post requests.
Overseas rates will depend on location and service used.
If when you receive your goods you are
not happy with them please phone us as soon as possible, as it is an auction purchase
we are not able to guarantee to cancel the sale but we will try and help if possible.
It should be remembered that quantities are only estimates but we will try to
solve any problems.
