How We Deliver
Every pre-owned item on our store is one-of-a-kind. Because sizes and conditions vary so widely, we keep delivery simple:

- Northeast local delivery — a flat £100 fee, available for selected items (admin-marked) to postcodes in the North East
- Contact us to discuss — for items outside the standard options
National DPD/courier shipping is not currently offered but may be reintroduced in future.
