Guide to postage for UK & Overseas.
We post out daily however please allow 5-7 working days for delivery in the UK and 10-14 days for overseas orders from your dispatch date. Whilst we hope all orders are delivered promptly we do have to rely on third-party couriers and customers should be understanding that delivery times are beyond our control.
UK Customers: Customers there is a minimum charge of £4.80 for any single item listed in the website with a maximum postage charge of £9.95 for combined multiple purchases up to 15 kilos in weight. We use EVRI and Royal Mail.
Overseas Customers:
Once your order is boxed up and we have the exact weight and box dimensions Joanne will then find you the best price to ship and send you the details. She will then refund any postage over payment straight away. You only pay the amount it cost to ship.
Please be aware all the couriers are experiencing high delays with exporting goods to overseas, this is due to the new paperwork needed for customs and customs clearance itself.
Customs will contact the buyer direct with any charges that incur.
Overseas shipping (Brexit Changes) please read.
Goods leaving the UK for the EU will now be charged Import Duty & Import VAT at EU-set rates.
The recipient will be liable for these. Customs will contact the buyer direct with any charges that incur.
*Refusal to collect parcels for any reason resulting in them being returned to us by the courier causes additional risks to the buyer, as these are only insured to their original destination. Any loss of goods or damage caused by uncollected items will be charged from the payment made for the order.
Note also: Items returned from overseas by courier (for non collection) will only be given as credit notes only (less shipping costs) due to the work involved in processing/packaging/handling these orders.
Returns can take anything from 6-8 weeks. These returned orders will be held as credit notes only and will only be processed once the parcel has been returned safely.
Parcels sent to Austria and Italy Businesses address’s require an EORI number even if the recipient is a private individual. If this cannot be provided please send to a residential address instead or send personal ID Number.
All items have been given an individual packed weight when listed in the website, this is calculated at the checkout automatically and does not account for combined purchases. This may result in overcharging if more than one item is ordered, however when your order is packed, weighed and measured, we find you the best rates available for a tracked insured service and refund back any over payments made as soon as the parcel is booked in for collection. We also send you the receipt for the postage so you can see the price paid is the price charged.
The initial cost is always the first item, it doesn’t seem to matter how small the item is, the courier will still charge a basic handling/starting rate to ship the first item, but the cost is much better when multiple items are shipped out together as the website charges a maximum price of £35.00 for a box (for most countries – see below) weighing up to 15 kilos.
*(Please note for orders placed that weigh over 15 kilos we will contact you regarding any addition postage charges)
EUROPE – MAXIMUM CHARGE for up to 15 KG in weight = £35.00
Canada, Australia USA and Hong Kong courier prices do not qualify for the 15 kilo maximum charge as these are more expensive countries to ship to, although we always try to find you the best prices to ship.
*(Please note for orders placed that weigh over 15 kilos we will contact you regarding any addition postage charges)
*There is a limit on how many planes we can pack safely in one box, so if you are ordering a multiple of planes and this cannot be packed safely in one box we will contact you and advise.

We have a very good record with this and promise to ensure best practices are used. Secondly it is our aim to provide the best rates and service possible for your shipping.
