Postage and packing (P&P) costs are calculated based on the contents, and total weight, of each order which are added on at the checkout page.
Small Order Surcharge
Our minimum order amount is £10 before P&P. If you order less than this we will add a Small Order Surcharge, to bring the order sub-total amount up to £10. This is to cover our overheads for processing small orders.
