Delivery
UK: Orders are normally sent by first class post within twenty-four hours of receipt of the order.
Overseas: Orders are normally sent by air mail (printed paper rate), to arrive as quickly and as economically as possible.
Parcels can also be sent using an internationally tracked service to many countries, which will require an additional charge.
Delivery times are usually as shown, though cannot be guaranteed:
Payment
Payments made by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal simplify currency exchange rates and avoid bank charges for money transfers, making payment easier for everyone! However, payment can also be made in sterling by cheque drawn on a UK bank or by electronic means in sterling directly to our bank account using the information on our invoices.
