All items will normally be shipped within 1 working day. All items are very well packed using bio-degradable soft packing chips which absorb any crushing during transit. We purchase all our packaging materials and therefore unfortunately we have to add a small charge to the actual shipping cost to cover packaging materials. We do not attempt to make any profit on shipping cost as we realise that these costs add a significant amount to the cost of an item especially if the item purchased is a low cost item.

We estimate the packaged weight for each item based on the actual weight of the item plus the known weight of the packaging materials.

Shipping within the UK

If buying more than one item from us we will endeavor to try to package them in one box in order to keep our client\'s postage to a minimum, dependant upon size and weight. Any excess postage already paid will be refunded.

Shipping overseas

The prices quoted for postage overseas are based on the Royal Mail prices for the packaged item. We will try to keep shipping costs to a minimum that will ensure your safe receipt of an item. All items sent international will be sent Signed For.

If purchasing more than one item from us at a time we would be able to reduce shipping charges as only one payment would be required for Royal Mail International Signed For portion of the shipping cost for a single package as long as the overall weight is less than 2.00kg and the size is within the allowable dimensions.

Items are only marked as \'Dispatched\' when they have been physically posted.

Notes on condition report and response

We make every effort to provide an honest description of an item, however on occasion we can make a mistake. We do not knowingly purchase second quality or restored items, however, in some cases repairs or restorations in ceramics are extremely difficult to see. Any restoration will be highlighted in the item description if detected. We are now using intense white light and UV light to try to detect restoration work. In addition some marks can be present which were present at the original time of firing.

If you are not happy with an item please contact me before leaving negative response in order to resolve any issues.

We specialise in ceramics by Royal Doulton, Moorcroft, Beswick, Sylvac, Royal Worcester, Lladro, Royal Crown Derby, Wedgwood Fairyland and miscellaneous collectables. All our items are 1st quality unless otherwise stated. Any damage or restoration will always be highlighted. Based in North Wales, UK, we ship internationally and have supplied clients worldwide e.g. Australia, USA, South America, Taiwan, etc. We endeavor to offer a personal service as we would like and hope that clients having purchased one item from us will come back to us for other pieces.
