It's up to the customer to choose a shipping price but if not correct we reserve the right to charge correctly.

Missing Orders
Because we are limited to very strict 'missing item' rules by Posthaste,
ALL 'missing items' claims MUST be done within 14 days from the date of order.
Notification made outside this allowance will not be successful.
Damaged Deliveries
'Damage' claims are a whole different story: Carriers liability ends
when a signature is obtained, PLEASE INSPECT ALL PACKAGES BEFORE SIGNING. just make them wait its their job!.
Should damage be discovered before signing, either inspect further (test product) or reject the delivery, the
courier will acknowledge this and we will be notified by them. At this stage please send us an email.
Making an Inquiry about an existing Order:
If after 7 working days you have not seen your order, make an inquiry by email, quoting the order ID number (eg.1117527794)
sent to you in an email and displayed on screen at the time of order.
Without this ID number we cannot help you very easily.
Searching for products
Use our search engine (top right of screen) to track down products, or follow the category listings to narrow your hunt.
Many products have extra data associated with them, just click on the code or picture for an exploded
view or for access to more information. if you dont get the result you want, try alternative spelling
as many items are spelled differently from what you might call it. Eg. Resistor / Resister, both are correct and common.
