NOTE - new Post Office regulations for USA!

Parcels over 1.05m long (ie. my kites) can no longer be posted, or mailed, to the USA by Royal Mail, meaning we can no longer use Air Mail, Global Priority or DataPost.

All kites to the USA must now be shipped via a courier such as FedEx on a per-order basis. However, charges are now made on a "volumetric weight" basis, necessitating a two-step payment process. PayPal and Google Checkout customers can purchase kites, and once they are made the balance due will be invoiced separately.

IMPORTANT DELIVERY INFORMATION:
On delivery you will have to check the goods before you sign for it. Above the place you sign it says "GOODS RECIEVED IN GOOD CONDITION". If this is signed when the goods are damaged there is no chance of making a claim or getting any compensation (courier's rules). You should open the parcel in front of the driver, make sure there is no damage and only then sign for it. If the driver does not want to wait then you should sign for it as damaged.

For countries accepting parcels 1.5m in length
Shipping options - your choices:
1. Royal Mail Global Priority (slow delivery + rudimentary tracking)
2. Cost effective courier service such as FedEx or ParcelForce DataPost on a per-order basis based on volumetric weights plus insurance - efficiently trackable - requires a second invoice after order is completed

Please include the telephone number with the delivery address

An invoice can be sent in advance for Global Priority deliveries, but with the new volumetric weight system the shipping charge for an express delivery will not be known until the order is completed and packed, in which case the balance will be invoiced separately using PayPal or Google Checkout. Kites won't be made until paid for.
