POSTAGE: The Thrifty Beatnik believes in the old-fashioned notion of fair play; you pay fast you get your item fast. On our eBay site we accept payment by Paypal only. Our courier collection is at 9am every weekday the day after payment to make sure your order gets through your letterbox & into your wardrobe quick-sharp ready to wear in no time at all.

UNITED KINGDOM: At Thrifty Beatnik we offer a free 5 day economy postage which includes packing and courier costs from us to you. However -we strongly recommend- that you upgrade to a recorded service as we specially discount this to just a couple of pounds to give you peace of mind. If you do wisely choose for a paid service, our flat rate postage cost means that you only pay the highest postage and not a penny more, allowing you to buy as a wardrobe of items without any further postage costs. If you wish to combine immediate payment Buy-It-Now's with auctions please pay in full in the same invoice (if possible) at the same time and we'll rebate asap. Due to recent fraud please do not fidn it unreasonable that we cannot and will not post to any other address than the one on included in your paypal payment.

SPECIAL DELIVERY: Due to the amount of sales we process it is essential that you message us when you pay for special delivery in order to jump the queue and become a higher priority. As above you only pay the highest rate and not a penny more no matter how many items you choose. Due to the occasional inflexibility with the eBay system we 1) Cannot offer Saturday delivery 2)may have to rebate postage costs if ebay's basket is being glitchy. Our courier collects at 9am so any orders after this time will go out in the next weekday collection.

INTERNATIONAL BUY IT NOWS: We post all overseas Buy-It-Nows via Royal Mail International Signed For and offer combined discounted postage. Your item will come with a tracking number, and a signature will be required upon receipt. Unfortunately the eBay system doesn't allow for us to discount your postage costs so you need to pay for all items and postage at the same time. After weighing your order we will rebate the excess costs back to you asap.

INTERNATIONAL COSTS: Due to certain international postal services losing untracked items in transit we now require require International signed for on auctions for certain countries. Please do not ask us to send untracked as we cannot be liable for loss and will not bend on this policy after refunding too many lost items in good faith.

IMPORTANT INFO: Due to a small minority of problem buyers ruining our 1p sales for everyone, we have a strict limit of one auction sale item every 10 days with no exceptions.

NON-RECIEPT: If you don't receive your item within 7 days in the UK / 14 days worldwide simply get in touch. We're very liberal with the refunds if your helpful with your order info. We always post orders even if they end for 1p with free postage but if you cannot bear the thought of your one-off item going astray please upgrade to a tracked service.
