Checkout Instructions.  

Note 1:                            

Royal Mail is used for delivery and all postage rates shown (on this listing) are based on their increase in rates as of 06 October 2025.

UK rates should be accurate for the item(s) advertised (on this listing), including the cost for loss or damage of the item(s). Standard compensation for items posted within the UK is only up to £20…Note that this covers the Purchase Price and not what the Buyer thinks the item might be worth! Postage quoted when multiple items are purchased will be calculated based on the weight and value of the ‘bundle’ (please also see Note 2 below). For multiples, I will wait and combine them when you have finished ‘shopping’ (see Note 3 for more information). Simply add them to the basket and then request an invoice.

All Customers please note:                                   

v In February 2021 a valuable hardcover was damaged in the post (the dustjacket was torn by a few inches, thus de-valuing the item) and, needless to say perhaps, the customer was not too well pleased. The item was insured for up to £1000 and I raised a claim for £250, the cost of a professional repair. Photographs were provided as part of the claim process (before and after the damage), however this was to no avail. Royal Mail would not pay for the damages because the packaging was not kept by the customer. Although this has only happened to me a couple of times, in all the years I have been selling my collection, the message is absolutely clear. If you receive an item that looks damaged, please photograph it immediately before opening. Then open the package carefully and keep it [the packaging] to one side. If the contents are intact and as described on the listing, then all is well. If, however, there is damage to the item then please [also] take pictures of that. Contact me immediately and I will take it from there (i.e. raise a claim) once you have provided the relevant evidence. Put the item and its packaging safely to one side for further examination as appropriate.

v On multiple (combined) purchases please, please use the Shopping Basket and request an invoice….do NOT pay at checkout. I can then apply the correct Postage & Packing (P&P) amounts to the invoice. In fact, if in any doubt that the P&P is not correct for your situation, please request an invoice. It saves a lot of time and trouble for both of us!

International Customers please note:

Please note that I will post worldwide. However, I am only able to show 4 International rates (Royal Mail Tracked) on my listings and cannot cater for every weight, postage method and eventuality. They are generally as follows:

> Europe - is now (from April 2022) split into 3 Zones and the highest priced Zone is shown on every listing

> World Zone 1 - Asia, Africa, North & South America (excl. USA)

> World Zone 2 - Oceania (incl. Singapore)

> World Zone 3 - USA

Therefore, please ask for an invoice (also see Note 2).

Standard compensation for items posted internationally is only up to £50…Note that this covers the Purchase Price and not what the Buyer thinks the item might be worth! Any purchase cost greater than this will incur the additional ‘insurance’ cost.

If you have any questions at all, please contact me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you very much.

Note 2: 

As may be appreciated some of the items I am selling are very scarce, because of their age or because they are Limited and/or Signed Editions, etc., and many are also quite valuable/costly. As a Private Seller I am unable to refund the cost of any loss or damage out of my own pocket; thus the Postage quoted always includes the compensation charges (as listed by the courier).

Note 3: Yes, I will combine items to optimise postage costs.

I am always happy to do multiple purchases with combined postage. Please note that you may end up paying the P&P on all items; although if that is the case I will refund the overpaid postage as much as I am able to. I can also do the following….you tell me which items you want, along with any offers for them and I will take the existing listings down and put a single one up there for the items you want to buy. That way I can correctly calculate the postage, based on weight and total cost.

The important thing is to communicate your intentions so we can agree on the protocol for your specific situation (always within the site rules abiding at the time). I have various sizes of cardboard and mail-lite envelopes, a couple of different size of cardboard boxes, etc.; along with various and many packing materials!!

General: Please know that I am a private seller listing my book collection from over 60 years and of many thousands of items. The books and magazines are the genuine article as described in the listings and I try to be as detailed as I can about the condition of each item (I err on the side of caution).

If you have any questions on the above, or anything to do with my listings, please contact me. I am generally available Monday through Friday and will answer soonest and to the best of my ability.

Thank you for your attention and happy browsing.
