Please note, we do not combine shipping unless by prior agreement and dependent on the overall order amount. The extra weight and packaging does cost us more postage. If we do combine shipping costs it will be a discount and only on like items that can be shipped in the same package. For example, books and prints can not be shipped in the same package type i.e. tube verses box. Please contact us in advance or purchase or offer if you have any questions. Shipping charges are otherwise automatic.

Postage and packaging is not free! Postage costshave risen significantly in a very short time, particularly on slightly heavieritems like books or long items like tubes. They seem to be targeting on-linesellers in fee increases. The cost of strong, rigid packaging has also risen and needs to bestronger than before as the PO sorting office automatic sorting equipment seems to damage moreitems. All our items are rare and ourcustomers would rather them arrive safely, than have freepostage. Since rules won’t let us set the real postage and we can only use their fixed rates, some customer may payslightly more for very light items, but we lose money on heavier or largerones. Thanks for your understanding.
