The shipping cost given in the listing is for basic airmail (or First Class Post in the UK) to wherever you are, from Scotland. Basic Airmail is not tracked or insured. If you wish a tracked service, insurance, or expedited shipping, please ask me BEFORE you order and I will get a figure for you. I am happy to reserve items for you while we do this. All packages will be sent by Royal Mail within three working days of payment. Please note that it can take between one and four weeks to reach North America from the UK. This is outwith my control, but sometimes the wait is worth it! Please note that you will be responsible for any import charges or taxes particular to your location. RETURNS - I want you to be happy with your purchase - if there is any problem, please let me know and I will do my best to resolve it. CUSTOMISING - One size does not, necessarily, fit all. Please let me know if you want an item re-sized and I will be happy to see if that can be done. I am always delighted to consider any custom request.
