Delivery Charges

There is a flat rate delivery charge for all orders up to a given threshold, thereafter a percentage of the total order value is charged (see below for details) so please bear this in mind when making an order.

In addition some heavier items may incur a supplementary charge. However, small items such as strings and small accessories etc can be added to an order without affecting the delivery cost.

At checkout, shipping costs are automatically calculated, based on the value and weight of the order, once the destination and any supplementary service have been selected.

NB The cover postage price is only one element of the shipping charge which allows for packaging, insurance and tracking(where applicable) as well as all the other costs that go into processing and despatching your order.
