Guarantee All of our items are believed GENUINE and are in good, collectable condition (unless specified otherwise).

Photos We are happy to provide photos (front and back) of items you are interested in purchasing. However, please do not ask for photos for your research purposes with no intention of buying the item as we do not offer a free research service (we are sorry to have to post this but some people do seem to think it is reasonable to do this).
ANY ORDERS CAN BE E-MAILED TO DAVID OR SENT TO DAVID SMITH, PO BOX 2861, BRISTOL, BS8 9FE, UK. ALL CHEQUES MADE OUT TO DAVID SMITH PLEASE.
Contact us at: david@britisharmybadges.com
Payment Badges are sent out strictly AFTER all payment has been received. We can accept payment in cash (at the SENDER'S RISK), cheques (made payable to DAVID SMITH please) or INTERNATIONAL money orders in sterling, US dollars or euros (there is no extra charge for payment by dollar or euro cheques, although these will take longer to clear). We can also accept credit card payments through Paypal, although we request you add 5% to the TOTAL COST to cover Paypal's fees. We use the current mid-market exchange rates, as quoted by the UK's Financial Times. The effective exchange rate will be the one when we confirm any order is successful, however a guide exchange rate can be found here: http://mwprices.ft.com/custom/ft-com/currency.asp
Postage All postage is charged at cost. Typically for one or two badges in the UK this is 75p for first class postage in a padded envelope. Recorded Delivery is an EXTRA 75p (with a "signed for" service and up to £39 compensation for loss) while Special Delivery (fully insured, next day delivery) is typically £4.25 IN ADDITION to basic postal costs. For international postage it is typically £1.75 for a single badge (uninsured, in a padded envelope) but the final cost will obviously depend on the destination and the weight of the order. International Signed For postage (with compensation up to £39) costs £3.50 IN ADDITION to the basic postal costs (more if higher compensation is required). We try to keep postal costs to a minimum, looking to charge ONLY the actual postal costs and sufficient extra charges to cover packaging materials (we do NOT charge for 'packaging time', 'petrol costs to get to the Post Office' etc as some other dealers do). We cannot accept responsibility for items lost or damaged in the post and any items sent without insurance are sent at the BUYER'S RISK.
