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.

your products for such great value?
A: It’s a lot of hard work, we buy
directly from manufactures, major wholesaler in large quantities. We buy the quantity, get the right price and pass the savings onto you. Sound simple but a lot of hard and constant price checking and negocations. This means we don’t
deal with third parties, agents etc. therefore we have no commission to
pay and by purchasing in large quantities it reduces the manufacturers costs.
It is these savings which are then passed onto you.
