Many of my items are of an old age and may have picked up minor marks and flaws. These should be generally expected. The photographs form part of the item description, therefore you are invited to both read all of the description, and view all of the photographs. There may be colour variations between your screen and the actual colour of the object. Total colour accuracy is not guaranteed. I don’t pretend to be an expert on the items I sell. If you are interested in something, you probably know more about it than I do. Therefore, if I have missed something from the description, or misdescribed something, it is unintentional so please let me know. If you have a question, please get in touch. The sooner the better! All items are sent using a tracked service. UK customers have a choice of two or more postal options, so please choose the option that suits your needs. Collections are not possible as I list for several sellers. The item is not kept at the address on the listing and may be being posted from many miles away. I reserve the right to upgrade the carrier and/or service at my own cost. If you want an idea of postal costs, please get in touch and I will weigh all items including packaging and give you a quote.
