Also, when I started out, I used budget courier companies, and the old saying, &#8220;you get what you pay for&#8221; certainly applies in that instance. It has been some time now since I moved up to Royal Mail and Parcelforce, and whilst they are more expensive, their service is exemplary&#8230; usually getting your goods to you in just a day or two. However, they are more expensive and their prices have risen over time, as have the prices of my cardboard and postal tubes, and it is becoming harder to absorb those costs without increasing the prices I charge for Paddles and Canes, which I don&#8217;t want to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I have decided that the obvious solution is to charge a fixed rate of \u00a38.00 for P&amp;P in the U.K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This won&#8217;t come into effect until the 1st of July and it will ensure I can continue providing my customers with the best impact toys, and the  best Postal service, available. Not the best news, I know&#8230; but at least any orders placed in June will be free of P&amp;P charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> So, now it&#8217;s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/carvedkink.com\/index.php\/shop\/\">shop<\/a>&#8230; and save!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changes to my U.K. Postage and packing policy.
