I’ve just bought something online – how will it be sent to me?
Your items will be dispatched by Special Delivery (usually within 2 working days of confirmation of payment) for those who live in the UK. The Special Delivery feature allows us to keep track of your parcel at every step.
For those that live outside of the UK, your items will be sent vis International Signed-For delivery. We track all items until they leave the UK.
If you have purchased numerous items or the value of your item is particularly high, then it is always a good idea to arrange for a specialised international courier to make a collection from us.

Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities to ship very large items – in these cases please contact us on the number above and we will help you make the appropriate arrangements.

We certainly do – our shop is located at 399 Strand, London, WC2R 0LX (for directions, click here). We have a grand array of stock available to browse during shop opening times, and there is always much more to see on the website.
If you have something specific in mind that you would like to view, or would like to chat to one of our specialist team about a particular item, then we always recommend making an appointment as we can often get very busy (especially around the time of auctions).
