Please ask us any questions you have and satisfy yourself the item is what you want to purchase before you press the buy button.

If you change your mind after bidding or after buying a shop inventory item contact us -- cancellations are not a problem, we all change our mind but early contact lets us minimise loss and is only fair.

In accordance with the distance selling regulations you can return fixed price items for full credit as long you advise us of their intended return within seven days and return to us in the same condition as supplied, postage paid within fourteen days.

Auction items are outside the distance selling regulations but will be replaced if faulty. We will refund your return postage if the fault is with us, we will not refund return postage for a change of mind.

We are happy to combine items to save postage where appropriate and sensible, just ask us. We can give best advice before buying and please do not just assume we can combine it is not always the cheapest option as combined items may push the weight particularly with royal mail into a band which demands a higher price service. A lot of our inventory is also awkward pieces of metal that do not always make good bedfellows with the more fragile item. Just ask.

Highlands, Scottish Islands, offshore island, Northern Ireland and remote places..

We are surcharged for delivery by our carriers to these places , Consequently please ask for confirmation of cost before bidding as we have to pass on the surcharge if we can not find a cheaper alternative. We will try but until you record your interest with a prospective delivery address we can not give a firm price.

Our Ecommerce business is important but it is only because we have lots of other business interest that we can offer what we consider very competitive prices and very good service. In order to try and standardise our service and give a very clear idea of what you can expect in the way of delivery we will try and post as soon as possible.

Normally same day despatch for orders before 11.00 am.  Given however that we spend a large amount of time out on site we have to be sensible so at an absolute maximum we will despatch next day.  This seems to work , please however bear with us on the odd occasion that the post goes pear shaped as once we hand it over,, although we are responsible for losses delays are sometimes out of our control.

 ( Large items come UPS 48 hr, smaller Royal mail 2^nd class)
