GOOD LUCK! I am happy to ship worldwide, but overseas buyers must pay by Paypal or with a credit or debit card through Paypal. Thank you. PAYMENT: OVERSEAS BUYERS; PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE!! NO MONEY ORDERS OR FOREIGN BANK DRAFTS, PLEASE. UK BUYERS; Paypal, credit or debit card (via PAYPAL), UK personal cheque or postal order. If postal orders are crossed, they can't be cashed immediately and must be paid into a bank.  UK POSTAGE: All shipping is via some form of Registered Post. All items are securely packed. UK Postage is via First Class Recorded or Special Delivery. Recorded items are insured only up to £36 in value. Please use Special Delivery option for more valuable items. Insurance up to £500 is included with Special Delivery price. PLEASE NOTE THAT SPECIAL DELIVERY DOES NOT MEAN NEXT DAY DELIVERY - THIS POSTAL METHOD IS USED BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF INSURANCE AVAILABLE FOR ANTIQUE ITEMS, NOT FOR SPEED OF RECEIPT. I can't get to the Post Office every day, however items are usually dispatched within 10 days of cleared payment, generally on the TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY following. If you do not agree with these terms, or with the P&P price quoted, please do not bid on the auction. INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE:I will post worldwide, using International Signed For (Airmail), Airsure or COURIER (for heavier items). I will not post by Surface or unregistered Airmail, please don't ask! Via Airsure or ISF, items are covered only up to £36 in value. Further insurance is optional @ £2.20 extra. This covers up to £500 (£250 to certain destinations) in market value. I cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to uninsured items. I use large bubble and strong boxes to pack. PLEASE NOTE: COURIERED packages of ceramics/glass/ antiques cannot at present be insured for damage. I use large bubble & new sturdy, double-walled boxes to pack, which may be heavier than normal boxes (and therefore a bit more costly more to ship), but offer a much greater degree of protection for fragile items. Please be assured that I make every effort to pack items very securely, but I cannot be held responsible for items negligently damaged by the postal system. I will, of course, offer every assistance in any claims for compensation from Royal Mail.     Place a Bid!
