Delivery costs are calculated by total order weight, and are inclusive of handling, packaging, and VAT at the standard UK rate. Please see the table below for a break down of options and costs. Smaller and lighter orders have the option of being sent Royal Mail 1st or 2nd class recorded delivery either small or medium parcels dependant on the size of the items and subject to existing weight restrictions - small parcels being discontinued for weights in excess of 2kg, and both 1st and 2nd class postage being limited to items not exceeding 600mm in length. Standard deliveries will normally be dispatched next working day (Monday to Friday, excluding high days and holidays.) - if this is not possible for whatever reason we will inform you of the delay.
Orders selected to be sent Parcelforce 24, or Parcelforce 48 are currently being dispatched following working day. Tracking details will be forwarded to you for these deliveries. We charge £9.00 for Parcelforce 48, and £10.00 for Parcelforce 24, subject to the standard Parcelforce multipliers for UK zone 2 (Highlands & Islands) of 210% meaning £18.90 and £21.00, and UK zone 3 (Isles of Scilly and Man) of 250% or £22.50 and £25.00. Northern Ireland is something of a special case, costing £14.40 for Parcelforce 48, and £25.00 for Parcelforce 24. Extra-zonal services can be expected to take one or two extra days.
We do deliver to countries outside the United Kingdom and for smaller items (those found here: http://www.objectsofuse.com/small_items or here: http://www.objectsofuse.com/large_items ) and lighter orders (under 2 kilos inclusive of packaging) these are now possible through the website. Larger items and heavier orders are subject to the vagaries of the volumetric weight used by couriers to calculate the cost of international shipping so for these we ask that you contact us so we may prepare and weigh the order in order to provide an accurate quote prior to payment and dispatch. As always we'll endeavour to do this as quickly as we can. Orders within the European Union are subject to VAT at the standard UK rate, but for orders outside the EU VAT will not be charged - although these may be liable for import duties charged to the recipient by the country of their destination.
Any plastic packaging materials used will have been recycled by ourselves from incoming deliveries. Otherwise packaging used will be paper or card of recycled or high percentage recycled materials.
