| POSTAGE & PACKING | How Our P&P Works | It's actually really simple ! - Every product has a "Shipping Weight" shown, either next to the product or (for ranges where they all weigh about the same) above the product listing.
- When you click on the first "Add to Basket" button, the basket will open in another window and ask you to select which region you live in.
- This shipping weight and region are used by our checkout to automatically calculate the postage cost. If you want to double-check it, it's easy enough to just add up the weights to confirm it is correct.
- The basket won't open again until you click the "View Basket" button at the bottom of any of our product pages. This is because we think that having it open every time you click a button can be infuriating after a while !
- In the basket, you can choose which shipping method you prefer from those available to your region for the total weight of your order. You can also edit quantites and remove things you've changed your mind about.
| | | | Shipping to UK Addresses | The table below shows the shipping cost for the various weight bands to UK addresses. Greyed out 1st Class boxes are services unavailable for that weight (for most areas, courier is more cost effective, and provides better insurance). We send items over a few pounds in value by Recorded Delivery, which is built into the costs shown below.
We’ve negotiated good discounts with our courier firms, and offer two courier options; Next working day after collection with APC Overnight – covers Mainland England, Wales & Scottish Lowlands (IOW, IOM & Scottish Highlands are more expensive, but still covered) 3-5 working days after collection with MyHermes – cover includes all of England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland
In both cases, orders placed on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be collected on the Monday. Cut-off times for next working day collection are: APC Overnight 10.30pm, MyHermes 7.30pm Local Delivery is available to any address within 10 miles of us (in Farnborough, Hants), and is FREE for orders over £20. We'll normally deliver that evening if you order before 7pm, or the following evening if you order after then, but email us to let us know when is best for you !

Over 2 kilos: we send by courier, but the price is different for every country. It is taking us some time to set this up, but if you want to order items with a weight of more than 2 kilos, please email us on Contact@SnMStuff.co.uk for a quote ! Please Note: For International Deliveries, we can only ship to the address registered with Paypal, or on clearance of cheque or Bank Transfer. Unfortunately, due to unacceptable levels of Paypal & credit card fraud, we do not ship to addresses in Nigeria, Macedonia, Ghana or Estonia. For European countries, the map below shows which ones we charge postage for as Northern Europe, and which are South & East Europe. 
| | | | A Few Notes On Our Shipping Philosophy | We don't aim to make money on our shipping charges - we don't think that is fair at all ! However, we have tried to calculate them to cover what it costs us to post your orders. This includes the cost of the shipping, but also the cost of parking at our local Post Office, the charges from Paypal, and packaging materials (we recycle where possible, but still have to buy in a lot of Jiffy Bags, tape and cardboard boxes !) With the integration of our new Roman Cart checkout, we have been able to change our shipping from a formula based on % of value, to one based on weight. We think this is fairer, because the formula we used before inevitably had to be calculated to cover the cost of the items which were heavy for the price. The "Shipping Weights" are based on accurate weighing of every product we sell with some rather snazzy new digital postal scales we bought, with an allowance for packaging which we calculated by looking at historical data on how many items people tend to buy in an order. Hopefully we've got it right, but we'll monitor it and adjust it if we find it's wrong. We still send orders over £150.00 within the UK with free shipping, as we think that you deserve a little something for spending so much all in one go ! | |
