Please advise if you would prefer second-class post, recorded delivery, special delivery etc. If an overseas rate is not specified please ask for a quote. Post and packing charges are kept to a modest limit reflecting the true cost. If extra insurance (such as through special delivery or international signed for) is not detailed but required then please ask for a quote.
