PACKAGING

Small flatter items are posted out in sturdy cardbaord envelopes, larger parcels in quality jiffy bags and the largest in cardboard boxes with recycled shredded packaging. This ensures that your items arrive with you safely but also reduces the size/weight dimensions to a minimum enabling cheaper postage charged to you and reduced packing used, helping the environment.
All our packing is 100% re-usuable and mostly recyclable. We also re-use packing that we receive from our suppliers, especially packing materials and boxes. We also shred all our junk mail and use it for packing.
