Delivery methods/prices
1) As we deal with many types of products ranging from music books to pianos, there are two many delivery methods and therefore pricing structures to detail here. We will provide an indication of delivery options and prices in the actual auction. But we ask you to check before bidding if you would like to know the exact amount for delivery to your particular address.
2) Courier tickets are signature required. We cannot take responsibility for delays in delivery due to no-one being home when the courier arrives. A work address is often a safer option.

2) Advise us within 48 hours of short supplied orders.
3) Advise us within 48 hours of damage in transit
We will work on your behalf with the carrier to ensure a positive result for you even though we cannot accept responsibility for damage in transit.
