IMPORTANT NOTICE: IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE UK PLEASE CHECK WHETHER THERE IS A SHIPPING COST SHOWN NEXT TO THE STARTING BID PRICE. IF THIS IS SHOWN THEN THE ITEM HAS PROBABLY BEEN LISTED UNDER THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME AND IT IS A RATE DETERMINED BY EBAY. THIS IS THE POSTAGE OFFER TO BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE UK.
?
AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME DOES NOT OFFER COMBINED POSTAGE.
?
FOR UK BUYERS AND EU INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOT USING THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME:
If you have won several Auction items, please ask me for a combined postage invoice or if you are buying more than one Buy It Now item, please add the items to the basket and when you have finished, click on the 'Request Total From Seller' button. Don't click on the Checkout button, otherwise you will end up paying too much postage.
?
Usually I charge an additional £1.00 for each extra vinyl LP, 50 pence for each extra vinyl single and CD.
?
If the item for sale is sold in auction for more than £20.00 I reserve the right to charge an extra £1.00 to cover the cost of posting tracked and signed for (UK only) or an extra £5.00 to all EU countries unless this is already accounted for.
?
If you are outside of the UK please contact me first before you bid to ask me the shipping costs so that we can avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding on cost of postage, and I can invoice for the correct amount before you pay for the item. HOWEVER IF YOU ARE BUYING USING THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME (SEE MY COMMENTS ABOVE) I DO NOT DETERMINE THE SHIPPING RATE WHICH IS WHOLLY DETERMINED BY A THIRD PARTY.
?
I do not usually ship to Russia unless this is tracked and signed for or you have bought from me before.
