Postage and packing

All orders are normally sent within two working days of receipt. Most smaller value maps & prints are sent via normal post (airmail if abroad), for larger value orders it would be best to select tracked post.

I try to charge around the cost price. Please select tracked post if your order is large.

Courier is best for very rapid delivery outside the UK, but more expensive.

All my antique maps and prints are loose, most items are sent in in a tube, having been rolled carefully. I use three widths, depending on the size and paper weight of the prints / maps.
I can use a flat packet for mailing on request, although this is often not possible for large items.

Delivery within the UK is normally next day, outside the UK times mostly vary between 3 and 12 days, depending on location and efficiency of the postal services, over which I have no control. The express option is usually a day or two quicker for non-UK orders, those sent by FedEx are usually very fast - 1 day to the USA and 1-3 days elsewhere.

All my antique maps and prints are insured. In the very rare event of non-delivery or damage the problem should be reported to your local Post Office and to myself. For a damage in transit claim to be made all the packaging must be retained.
