  • Our minimum postage charge (for parcels under 2kg.) is just £2.20 for light items, £3.60 for bulkier ones and £6 for the Barn Owl Conservation Handbook, which is sent ‘Signed for’; with a minimum of £17 for courier delivery on large items or bulk purchases (over 2kg.).
  • Nestboxes are delivered ‘Signed for’ by courier and there is a flat-rate per box.
