Just a reminder that it is Easter here in the UK this weekend

The holiday means that both the Post Office and Royal Mail are closed on Friday 2nd and Monday 5th April 

They will both be working in a limited capacity on Saturday 3rd April, but this is most likely to cause post delays within the UK and any processing of mail going overseas 

If you have ordered anything this week or order anything next week, please allow a few extra days for it to arrive 

​Happy Easter everyone!

Can we politely request that you double check your postal address before submitting your orders

We are seeing an increased number of orders coming in with incomplete address, incorrect postcodes and various spelling errors

We know you are ever so keen to get your order posted out, but please just take an extra moment to check it before you send it in 

We would hate to mis-address an order and end up with it coming back to us

Thanks everyone 

​Just a quick (and polite) reminder, that if you require tracking for your purchase, please choose a tracked service at checkout

The options for Signed For in the UK will provide you with a tracking number and this can be selected for either first or second class

Overseas customers need to select International Signed For upon checkout and will then also receive a tracking number

If you do not request and pay for this additional service at checkout then items will be sent on a non tracked service 

Today, Friday 12th February, marks the start of the Chinese New Year 

2021 is the year of the Ox, which represents hard work and endurance 

Our Chinese suppliers are now closed for a week or so for celebrations, so we will be unable to source any items from them during this time

​

Proofmark have kindly provided some more items for us and their inert ammunition range is now back in stock on our website 

Please note that due to export restrictions, we are only able to post these items with the UK

​

There is a story on the BBC news website this morning to say that Royal Mail have declared a list of locations where they are having issue with deliveries due to Covid related absences

Royal Mail have increased their postal prices for UK and overseas items from 1st January

This means we have had to review and increase postage prices on our site as well

So, well done if you ordered anything over the Bank Holiday to be sent out on 4th as you paid the lower postage price, because we hadn't got round to changing them on the website!

The Bank Holidays come one after another at this time of the year!

Friday 1st January is a Bank Holiday in the UK and our local Post Office is closed Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd January 

Therefore, we will not be able to post any items purchased over the next few days until Monday 4th January 

Just to confirm that the Post Office have advised us they will now accept overseas parcels for posting again 

As we mentioned, they were refusing items while the border 'dispute' was being resolved 

However, please be aware that anything posted into Europe may be caught up in the backlog and delayed

Therefore, please bear with us and allow some extra time for your parcel to arrive 

Just a quick reminder that UK Post Offices are closed over the Christmas Bank holiday period

They will not be open again until Tuesday 29th December, so this is the first time we will be able to post any orders made between Christmas Day and 28th December 

​Thankyou for your patience
