Estimated postage and packing costs are dependant on the number and weight of the lots (items) and the complexity of the packing required.

The handling charge is £1.50 per lot and 75p for additional lots. However, this may be increased if, for example, lots include multiple items require individual packing or are particularly delicate.

Only if more than average packing materials are required for items will an additional amount be added for materials as this will normally be included in the handling charge.

Example estimates are:

One lot item weighing 245g - estimated weight for postage 495g:
Uninsured: UK £4.50 Europe £6.00 USA £8.00 ROW £8.00
Insured: UK £7.00 Europe £10.30 USA £12.30 ROW £12.30

Multiple lots - estimated weight for postage 4.5Kg:
Uninsured: UK £11.00 Outside the UK, POA
Insured: UK £12.00 Outside the UK, POA

Buyers not requiring an estimate for whom we charge, pack and send - then shipping costs will be based on actual postage costs plus handling charge.

Buyers are welcome to collect the items from our premises but a handling charge of 75p per lot will still apply.

If there is sufficient space in our vehicle we can arrange for the items to be collected from us at a Toyfair. With effect from March 2005 there will be a charge for this as we will have had to condense the items for traveling. The charge will be £10.00 for each buyer.
