Packing & shipping costs are based on size and weight banding from my preferred couriers and shipping companies. Once an item is packed and buy shipped, any excess shipping costs paid will be returned to you.
Multiple purchases will be packed, where possible, in the same consignment to achieve the best possible price, and this again often leads to excess shipping costs being returned
