Posting & Package Information

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY POST TO THE UK

Items can only be despatched to a destination within the UK. This includes Northern Ireland,

Scottish Highlands and all offshore Islands. I do not post to any other country

PLEASE NOTE: I POST MONDAY-FRIDAY (BUT NOT SATURDAY/SUNDAY)

(The SATURDAY GUARANTEED DELIVERY option is for items ordered for posting by 9.00 am on a friday morning only.)

I offer FREE postage with Royal Mail Standard Recorded Delivery Service.

However, with the unreliable state of the Royal Mail, I do strongly recommend to my customers that they consider opting for one of the special delivery services offered on the order form for boxed items.

If you decide to stick with the FREE Royal Mail Standard Recorded Delivery Service, your item should usually be delivered within one to three working days from the date of dispatch but this cannot be guaranteed. I will email you the tracking number but it is up to you to check the progress of the delivery with the online Royal Mail track & trace service, I can take no more responsibility for the delivery of the parcel. (I must also point out that the tracking number can only be traced once the parcel has either been delivered or there has been an attempt to deliver!)

If a parcel goes missing in the post, there is a 15 day waiting time to claim the lost item from the Royal Mail. Again, I have to say that this is your responsibility and unforunately I am unable to do anything to help with this, which is why I recommend the following more reliable delivery services:

ROYAL MAIL NEXTDAY SPECIAL DELIVERY SERVICE

0.5kg £3 – 1kg/1.5kg £6

ROYAL MAIL SATURDAY GUARANTEED DELIVERY SERVICE (only for orders posted at 9.30am on a friday)

0.5kg £6 – 1kg/1.5kg £10

If you require your box the next day I strongly advise all my customers to opt for the RM NEXTDAY SPECIAL DELIVERY SERVICE - and if you require a Friday posting with a guaranteed Saturday Delivery, the RM SATURDAY GUARANTEED DELIVERY SERVICE. These options are offered on the order form. I always email the tracking number for these services as soon as your order has been posted.

Larger orders of 2kg and over are delivered by courier service. (FREE)

OCCASIONAL DAY OFF!

As you may be aware by now, I am also a keen deep Sea Angler, who goes to sea in my fishing boat, so there are occasion's when the weather condition's and tide permit me to venture out into the English Channel from my local harbour/port of Littlehampton to fish for Cod / Sea Bass / Whiting / Place / Black Bream / Pollock amongst other's to stock up my freezer.

This is the reason why I very occasionally take a day out from posting your order's at the Post Office.

I always' try to give as much notice as I possibly can, on the Noticeboard so you can adjust your ordering accordingly.

I am very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you,

Kevin.
