Delivery Schedule

Most orders are normally shipped within 2 working days of your cleared payment. UK orders are shipped by either Royal Mail Special delivery or 1st class recorded, and transit times range from 1 to 5 working days. Overseas shipments are by Royal Mail International Tracked airmail or special Couriers, and can take between 5 to 12 working days subject to destination. Notification of despatch will be emailed to you shortly after the order has been shipped.

All goods are sent insured for loss in transit, but we do pack our parcels very well and have very rarely had to make any claims for any losses or transit damage. In the unlikely event of receiving a damaged product, please retain all packaging until any claim has been concluded, and where possible take photos of the parcel to illustrate any obvious container damage.

Please note that the above transit times are guidelines, and subject to the performance of the relevant mail services which are outside of our control, and as such Scientific Collectables cannot accept any liability for consequential loss of any late or damaged shipments, however caused.

Customs duties

International customers please be aware that import duties, taxes & charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. Such charges where levied are the buyer's responsibility, so please check with your country's customs office to determine what additional costs if any may be due, before making your purchase.

Duplicate orders

In the unlikely event that two people purchase the same product before the stock control system has reflected the sold status of that item, then it will be sold to the earliest purchaser as determined by the transaction time, and all monies refunded to the second purchaser.
