This item is due on a container (see bottom of page for final delivery instructions!!!)

Please note that when we sell items quoting "Item is due on a container..." this means the items have not yet reached the uk, the times quoted on the ad are anticipated docking dates into the uk and a set time for smooth customs clearance, unfortunately however delays can sometimes occur in shipping and it is advised to always allow 21 days from latest quoted date on ad for delivery to your home. This is to allow for unforeseen delays in customs clearance etc and possible shipping re-routes which are beyond our control. Approximately 5% of our items are subject to this delay. Please take a little time to read the feedback comments on our account, you will see the vast majority of people have delivery much quicker than quoted, however we do have delays as mentioned and to avoid debates later it is very important that you only bid on the understanding that on rare occasions you may have to wait up to 11 weeks for delivery.

If this small chance of delay is not agreeable we ask you not to bid on this item in order to avoid dispute at a later date.

 Container shipping can also sometimes be quicker than quoted, as mentioned above you may have a pleasant surprise when the item arrives in advance of the quoted dates, due to the current volumes we are operating we are unable to hold items if the container arrives sooner than quoted, we will despatch immediately on arrival of the container and we will email or telephone when your items are despatched, therefore please be aware the items may be faster than quoted.

Due to the unpredictable nature of shipping and very long distances involved, there may be a period of some weeks following purchase and payment when you will not receive any contact from us re your delivery. Please do not worry about this period of what may seem like inactivity, we will in fact be working very hard as always to ensure the speediest possible delivery.

Please note it is essential that we are made aware in advance of despatch of any holiday dates that you may have if items are quoted due on a container. The delivery may be in advance of the quoted dates, thus we urge you to forward the dates to avoid the carriers calling when you are not available.

 Unfortunately due to the erratic nature of shipping we will not be able to forward updates unless you email us, with this in mind ask you to email us if updates are needed and always to email in the sixth week and query the whereabouts of the particular vessel containing your item. We will be glad to email our shippers to obtain a firmer date if possible. Please be sure to check your spam filter if you do not receive a reply from us.

The payment for this item will be required in line with all other items on our auctions and the dates quoted will be from date of payment clearance, (ie paypal or cheque within 5 days of auction end) and once the items are safely through uk customs and into one of our depots we will email or telephone with more precise delivery details in line with our standard delivery instructions.
