Shipping terms
Postage
Postal rates are based on an ordinary hardback of under 500 grammes in weight. Overseas orders are always sent by Royal mail. I will advise of rates in advance or you can ask me for a quote. Please note heavy items are very expemnsive to send outside from UK to outside Europe so it is usually only worthwhile for more expensive or rare items. Always ask in advance if possible
