International postage prices universally increased throughout EU and UK.
A new edict from the Universal Postal Union, which is UK and EU wide, has decreed that all commercial items must be sent as International Commercial Packages, and the universal lowest fee is GBP 18, instead of a shade below a tenner before January the 1st. We have no control obver this, it used to be that we could send items under 2kg by normal tracked post, but now thsi is only available for documents. The plus side, is the deliveries are now fully door-to-door courier servcie, and arrive a day or so sooner, the downside is for smaller orders its a bit more expensive. This applies to all companies in Europe and the UK when shipping items between countries, so we're sorry for that - its really affecting the many smaller orders we used to get, but we'll get through it somehow! Thanks for all yoru support.
