Delivery & Pricing

How we calculate our prices and delivery prices

All prices on this website are quoted including VAT. Generally across our site we have endeavoured to keep our prices as low and competitive as possible and not introduce pack sizes on most items to allow our customers to be as flexible as possible when ordering, but we have added pack sizes for our most popular products at heavily discounted prices.
To allow us to provide the excellent service we aspire to (in terms of order fulfilment, checking orders, quality of items, good packaging, instructions, free samples, providing Paypal as payment method and speed in turnaround of your order) our prices on this site are higher for the individual items than on our sister site Subli Metals. That site is aimed at printing businesses – so prices are listed ex VAT and on that site we have an overall minimum order level, set at £39 plus VAT per order and a higher mainland UK carriage charge of £8.95 plus VAT per order. You may order from either site, the products listed are identical, but orders received through the Subli Metals site will always take priority over CraftiMetals orders in terms of speed of despatch. Please also remember we operate on the 4 day working week – Mon-Thurs, so orders received on or after Thursday afternoon – will not despatch till Tues the following week at the earliest.

We have a very simple delivery pricing structure,  based on order value not weight – just type your postcode into the calculator and the site will work it out for you.

Please note the basic price is subsidised at present (our rate from Parcelforce is just under £8 a parcel before packaging costs – 50p to a £1 -are added!) so we may send very small orders by regular post.

Pricing Info – How we calculate our Delivery prices:

  • Most of our items are despatched by courier as we are located in a rural area. If we have to / need to despatch by post we have a 6 mile, 20 minute round trip to town to send out, so the postage charge then has to cover this plus all the other standard charges for packaging (up to £1 but at least 50p) recorded delivery, paypal fee, printing of the invoice, time taken etc (when we have non mainland UK orders to post, which are too expensive to courier, we can stand in a queue at the Post office for up to 15 minutes!) These costs are the same for a large order as a small one.
  • We will mainly send recorded/tracked,  as every time we try to send non signed for we get items that don’t turn up – which we then have to replace at more time and cost!
  • To offset this we offer FREE shipping at the low level of £114 an order, to encourage you to order more and make us all more profitable! Unfortunately this is not available to our customers abroad.
