Payment is prefered by paypal but I will accept cheques or postal orders, however please be advised that your item could be delayed if paying by this method by up to 10 days. Postage charges reflect not only the cost of stamps but also packaging and covering of fees, all charms are sent by 1st class post in a padded envelope to protect the charms. Any items offered with free postage are usually sent by the 2nd class service. I post Monday - Friday and in some cases twice a day so you can be assured that your purchase is on it's way ASAP. I DO NOT post on saturdays due to a single (very) early Royal Mail collection.
