Chubby Cheeks try to keep the postage price to a minimum amount wherever possible. When an Ebay customer is charged the postage price, this includes the handling as well. The costs that are taken into account when posting your purchased item/s are: *The packaging materials used to protect your item/s from being damaged during postage transit. **And** *The cost of petrol to drive to a local post office when posting your item/s. Should you want your item registered, please email me to let me know beforehand and it will be done for the usual registration price. That way, I will be able to adjust your postage accordingly. Thanks :)
