Returns Policy

If you consider the item not to be as described please contact me by email first with your concern. If we cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion I will accept return of the item as long as it is sent back in the condition it was supplied and refund your payment. The returns policy is only valid for 30 days from date of sale unless prior agreement has been made to extend this period (eg for certification).  As a member of the Philatelic Traders Society I will always endeavour to come to a satisfactory conclusion for both parties.

Postage and Packaging and Insurance

Postage and packaging is as per the invoice for a single item.  If you buy more than one item I will amalgamate the charge.  If you want the item to be sent by recorded delivery please either request and I will confirm or you may add £0.75 in the UK or £3.75 for elsewhere in the world.  If you want Special Delivery(UK only) please add £4.40 to the cost.

I retain a proof of posting for 3 months on all items and as such will not be responsible for anything that goes missing in the post although I will assist in any attempted claim against the post service(UK only). 

Insurance is available to most countries in the world but item must be sent by recorded delivery to qualify.  If you want insurance and your item(s) are valued between £30 and £250 the cost will be 1% of the invoiced total.  If you want insurance please email me and request and I will amend invoice accordingly.  If your item(s) exceed £250 please contact me and I will provide a quotation for the cover.

Payment Instructions

I will issue the Ebay invoice normally on day of auction completion confirming the amount due.  I will issue the reminder after about 8 days and on the 22nd day after the auction finishes I will file a Non Paying Bidder Alert form. If you do not then pay within a further 7 days I will then complete the NPB process which will bar you from bidding on further auctions I offer.

If you have genuine difficulties please email me as I will take comments made into consideration.

In addition to Paypal I will accept personal cheques but on UK banks and in Sterling (£) only please. If you are outside of the UK you can request your bank to draw a sterling (£) cheque which is acceptable.

If your total exceeds £50 and you are paying by Paypal buyers from the Hong Kong and similar area must have "Confirmed" status or be able to provide evidence of their genuineness.

In certain circumstances I will accept other payments but you MUST contact me first for agreement.

Scan(s)

The scan shows the actual item(s) that you will receive.  I always scan in the item(s) I am selling for each individual sale so even if I have more than one of anything you will receive the one shown in the scan.

And Finally...

Should you need any additional information please contact me at any time athough please be aware that I am unlikely to be able to respond within the last 12 hours of any auction.  I will usually post out your item(s) on the next working day after the receipt of cleared funds.

Good luck with your bidding.
