Hi Kathleen, thanks for your review. As you mentioned we do charge £4.95 for carriage on all orders under £50 - delivery is FREE to everywhere on order over £50 (except to the highlands and the islands - Channel islands, Shetland islands and Isle of Man. Everything we ship is with a courrier as opposed to using royal mail - this is so that we can track every package along its route. This ensures a very high next day delivery rate - however this is a service that unfortunatly does comes with a cost!
