Czech Republic: Czech Post ´Issue Plan of Czech Postage Stamps for 2008´

Postage and packing will be calculated on the weight of the item inclusive of packing materials. In addition to postage, a small charge is made for packing materials. If a number of items are purchased, the postage and packing will be based upon the actual cost of sending all the items in one package.

Purchases will normally be sent by the most cost effective method by ordinary mail at the buyer’s risk (second class mail in the United Kingdom, or air mail to Europe and the rest of the world). If registered or insured mail, with the items sent at the seller’s risk, is required, the buyer must bear in addition the cost of the registration, or insurance fee.

If payment is made by MoneyBookers, or PayPal, the buyer must pay the relevant fees (currently 1.9% for MoneyBookers, or 3.9% + 20p. for PayPal). 

When a sale is confirmed, the seller will send the buyer a detailed e-mail message providing information about the postage and packing charges. Prospective buyers are welcome to e-mail and ask for a detailed account of the shipping charges before making a purchase if they wish.

As a guide, my current postage and packing rates for: a package weighing no more than 100 grams sent by second class mail within the United Kingdom is 46p: to Europe (air mail) – up to20 grams is 70p., up to 40 grams is 98p., up to 60 grams is £1.24 and up to 100 grams is £1.41: to other countries (air mail) - up to 20 grams is £1.07, up to 40 grams is £1.56 and up to 100 grams is £1.92. Please note that these rates are for ordinary mail sent at the buyer’s risk.

Purchases sent to addresses in the United Kingdom can be despatched at the seller’s risk by recorded (signed for), or special delivery. My current postage and packing rates for a letter weighing no more than 100 grams are £1.20 and £5.15* respectively (*for compensation for loss, or damage up to £500).

Purchases sent to addresses outside the United Kingdom can be despatched at the seller’s risk by international priority services. The fee charged is dependent on the weight and value of the letter, or package, but will normally be somewhere between £4.25 to £7.40 in addition to the postage and packing rates shown above.

Please note that these postage and packing rates have been calculated using the Royal Mail pricing structure effective from 6 April 2010. Purchases made and paid for in time for despatch prior to 6 April 2010 will be charged postage and packing at Royal Mail’s current rates.
