Shipping information
Our service is to residents of the British Isles as such shipment is available within the British Isles. Delivery outside the borders of the British Isles is not available. Shipment may be possible to a shipping agent or representative appointed by the purchaser if that agent or representative is resident within the British Isles. In these cases the onward shipment, including any application requirement for export or import permits and payment of any Customs Duties, taxes or charges are the sole responsibility of the prospective purchaser. The responsibility for safe delivery of the item by Stand of Arms ends once it has been accepted by the agent or representative at the U.K. destination nominated by the purchaser.
All orders are subject to a delivery, packing & handling charge. These charges are based on costs to Stand of Arms and are kept to a minimum. It is not our policy to profit unreasonably from these charges.
Although we offer a U.K. delivery scheme, and trust & rely on the various delivery systems used to work properly, it must be understood that items are sent entirely at the customer's own risk. We will package the items well to prevent damage, and obtain all relevant despatch documents, but in the event of a parcel being lost in transit we will not be liable for such a loss. Insurance, to the limits quoted by the delivery company involved, against loss or damage is included in our delivery prices but offers only minimal cover. A specialist antique shipper can be used at the request of the purchaser, these shippers will insure to the agreed value of the item to be shipped but their charges are expensive (Multiples of the normal postage and packing charges).
Payment methods
We accept All major Credit/Debit Cards (Not Charge Cards, e.g. American Express), Bank Transfers, Cheques & Cash where appropriate.
All payments will be taken in British Pounds (££) Sterling.
