We have developed our shipping policy to offer you the best value for money with the greatest flexibility. The price charged for shipping is calculated based on the weight of the items ordered together with the delivery method employed. In most cases, you are able to select your preferred delivery method for your order based on how quickly you want it and what you want to pay.
For example, if you just want a few paints or small items, you can select 1st Class Post and you will only be charged £1.00. Providing you order before 2pm, Mon-Fri for a UK mainland delivery, in most cases, you will get the order the next day.
Alternatively, if you order lots of items or larger items; a plastic model kit, Scalextric set etc, you can select 1st Class post at a charge of £3.99 or DPD Next Day delivery at a charge of £5.99.
