Q. How much does the postage cost and who do you use for shipping? A. All postage/delivery charges for every individual item are on the same page at the bottom of the description of the item. We use both Royal Mail and Parcel Force delivery services. All items under a postage cost of under £7.50 are sent by Royal Mail. Royal Mail does not have zonal restriction or charge extra as long as it is delivered to an UK address. Royal Mail will deliver to the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands for the postage price quoted on the item description page. We use Parcel Force/Business Post/DHL for any item with a postage cost £7.50 or more. Parcel Force operates zones for different parts of the UK. 90% of the items we despatch go to Parcel Force Zone 1 so the postage charges stated on the description page will be as quoted. If however it is outside Zone 1 then further charges will apply. For a quick example. If you need to send an item to Northern Ireland. This is Parcel Force Zone 3.(For more information on Zones please click here) It would be the cost of the item, the items postage cost and the additional charge for Zone 3. Hope this helps. After you have used the site a few times it all becomes easier.
Q. How do I copy your pictures and description for my own use and have I permission to use them (Copyright and ownership etc.,)? A. If you "right click" your mouse pointer on our web site pictures, a menu box will drop down. Select "save picture as" and save the picture to a folder on your computer’s C drive. Usually it is best to create a folder for all your pictures. We always try to give you as many pictures of an item as possible. The more pictures you have the better the items your advertising for sale will be explained and appreciated. The internet is not about touchy feely. The better items are explained and presented the more likely they are to be sold. More pictures, more details equals more sales. Permission to use our picture and description.
