Do you offer combined postage if I buy multiple items?

Yes we do. If multiple items are purchased in the same transaction, we will endeavor to combine postage to keep the shipping costs to a minimum. Please use the Contact Us form if you have any problems at the check out. If, when we ship your multiple item order, your shipping costs are less than we quoted, we will refund any difference.

Do you pay my International Customs charges?

International Orders - these may be subject to import duties and taxes outside of our control, which may be levied when the goods arrive in your country. These are the sole responsibility of the buyer. We are legally required to state the value of the goods and complete a customs declaration for these at the time of posting. If you are unsure, please consult the customs authority in your own country for further details. We have no control over these and are unable to reimburse any charges.
