Overseas Customers –
AS FROM May 1st 2021 WE HAVE TO SHIP ALL OVERSEAS ORDERS AT PARCEL RATES
THIS IS BECAUSE OF REGULATIONS IN THE DESTINATION COUNTRIES, NOT THE UK
IT MEANS THAT PAINT MASKS, PHOTOETCH AND DECALS WILL NOW LOOK VERY EXPENSIVE TO SHIP
We normally use Royal Mail International Tracked (or Tracked and Signed) delivery for orders of £20 or more (excluding tax)
For orders under £20 (excluding tax), European residents and residents of selected other countries (accessories and parcels <1kg only) can opt to use Standard or Priority AIRMAIL using Royal Mail International Priority service
We will usually post items within 1 working days of cleared payment. Please allow 5 working days for cheque payments to clear. For same working day despatch, we need to receive cleared payment no later than 3pm.
WORKING DAYS ARE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY EXCEPT BANK HOLIDAYS
We calculate recorded postage based on the weight of the items in the cart, up to a maximum of 20kg (2kg BFPO and overseas).
If the weight of items is more than this, the postage will be set to £99.99.
If this happens, please email us before attempting to check out so we can calculate the best option for postage.
Some items are too large by volume to ship by normal airmail, even though they are below 2kg in weight. In this instance the overseas postage will have a surcharge of up to £99 applied.
Again, if this happens, please email us before attempting to check out so we can calculate the best option for postage.
We reserve the right to refuse to ship an order if the wrong postage has been charged. In this circumstance, we will invoice the customer for the extra delivery charge required and allow the customer to cancel at no cost if the charge is unacceptable.
