PLEASE BE AWARE IF YOU LIVE IN THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS AND SOME OUTLYING AREAS, THIS IS A TWO WORKING DAY SHIPPING SERVICE AS STANDARD IN THE UK

We can take various forms of payment including most major credit cards including AMEX, PayPal and BACS Bank Transfer. 

We aim to ship within 3 working days of payment. Many times we are able to ship the same day to enable a quick turnaround. Default UK Mainland shipping is with UPS couriers or Royal Mail and this is next working day. Highlands or Islands will be sent with Royal Mail and while this doesn't incur any extra charge it may take longer to get to you at your destination.

For larger more valuable items or items without original boxes we can also sometimes use a private door to door courier on the UK mainland. If this is an option it will be noted on the specific listing.

We do ship worldwide on most items but this is only done through eBay's global shipping programme. Again, this will be detailed on the listing and should show shipping and import duties for your specific territory.
