Shipping and Standards Policy 

Shipping & Packaging Policy

At Retro Reads and Relics, we treat every book and historical object we sell with the utmost care. Because our live inventory is securely hosted and purchased through our Official eBay Store, all transactions automatically benefit from robust buyer protections and fully integrated tracking systems.

​

Below is our commitment to how your order will be handled, packed, and delivered.

 

1. Professional Packing Standards

To prevent corner bumps, spine damage, or weather-related issues during transit, we use a defensive, professional packaging protocol:

 

Protection: Every volume is carefully wrapped to protect it from moisture or friction.

 

Structure: We pack exclusively using robust, rigid cardboard book boxes or custom wrap-around mailers.

 

Security: Negative space inside packages is firmly padded to eliminate any movement during transport.

 

2. Dispatch & Handling Times

Prompt Processing: All orders are securely packed and dispatched within 2 business days of receiving cleared payment.

 

Notification: As soon as your order is on its way, your item will be marked as "Dispatched" on eBay, triggering an automatic email notification to you.

 

3. Delivery Services 

We partner with reliable postal networks to ensure a safe delivery journey.

 

Domestic (UK): Sent via Royal Mail

International: We gladly ship worldwide, utilising eBay's Global Shipping Programme to ensure compliance with customs and cross-border security.

​

In the rare event that an item is lost or damaged by the courier during transit, we will manage the claim and provide you with a prompt, comprehensive resolution through the eBay platform.
