**Shipping and Packaging Policy**
**Shipping Charges:**
The majority of the displayed shipping charges during checkout, on invoices, and packaging slips are allocated to cover packaging and handling, while less than 1% is dedicated to transportation costs, which we cover. The goal is to provide accurate shipping costs based on factors like weight, dimensions, and destination.
**Packaging Costs:**
Please be advised that the system provided by our supplier lacks the capability for sellers to independently itemise packaging charges. Consequently, a significant segment - almost all - of the shipping charge displayed at checkout, on invoices, and packaging slips is designated to defray the expenses associated with packaging materials, ensuring the secure delivery of your items.
**VAT-Exempt Postage Services:**
It is noteworthy that, in certain instances, VAT-exempt postage services may be utilized. However, irrespective of the postage service used, the rate of VAT applied will follow the rate applied to the product. This is because VAT is applicable to the packaging and handling components of the shipping cost which is over 99% of it.
**Combined Shipping:**
For orders comprising multiple items, we strive to mitigate shipping costs by consolidating items into a single shipment whenever practical.
**Limitation on Separately Showing Packaging Charges:**
It is important to note that the system provided by our supplier lacks the capability for sellers to independently itemise packaging charges. The bundled shipping charge encompasses all associated costs and will be reflected at checkout, on invoices and on packaging slips.
