Remember: If you put things in the shopping cart you are NOT buying anything, until you have past the Checkout zone.

We sometimes split orders into 2 or more parcels to keep postage cost down.

	International Shipping Costs: Put items in the shopping cart and register with name, address and post/zipcode if you have one, so the system knows where items have to be shipped to. When you do this, you are not obliged to buy anything, you are only checking the costs of transport. Shipping costs for ParcelPost delivery to your destination will show up. For faster Expedited delivery information use our Last Minute link on any shopping page. Price examples for International Shipping: For light parcels costs start from £2.35 to EUROPE and £3.45 to the USA and THE REST OF THE WORLD. For heavy or large parcels between 2 and 30KG transport costs are around £15 to Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland (Eire), Netherlands and Luxembourg. Shipping costs by faster Expedited ParcelPost for to eg. USA/Canada/Australia start at £32.50 Why international shipping costs can be high for some articles: Our system calculates shipping costs, based upon the total weight of ordered goods. Small orders with a total weight under 2KG are still affordable to ship worldwide, but as soon as the total weight of your goods exceeds 2 Kilograms or when your parcel is large in volume, overseas shipping costs will be higher. Example: If you order a Wooden Hoop, the toy itself weighs around 1KG including packaging, but the parcel has a large volume which is the equivalent of 8KG! The Hoop is over 60cm (2ft) in diameter and can only be shipped by ParcelPost method, it cannot be shipped by standard Airmail. It will cost around £30 to ship to USA/Canada/Australia etc, even though the toy itself costs around £9. If possible we sometimes split an order into 2 (or more) parcels, keeping the weight under 2 KG for each parcel, thus keeping the shipping costs down as well. Disclaimer: We try to update our databases as soon as possible, but cannot be held responsible for any mistakes in shipping charges and postage quotes as costs are subject to the fluctuating oil prices.
