In 40 years of dealing in Antiques, I have never charged for Wrapping & Packing items for Shipment---now unfortunately because of rising costs of materials in which to wrap and pack such securely so your item arrives intact--I am having to charge the following costs--ITEMS FOR DELIVERY IN THE UK--£15--ITEMS FOR OVERSEAS DELIVERY £25. These Charges are reasonable considering wrapping and packing an item can take between (according to the item size) anywhere from 20 minutes to over 2 hours! Thanks for your understanding.
