| Re Dunhill tobaccos - It
is with regret that I have to announce British
American tobacco (BAT) have recently discontinued the
distribution of all Dunhill tobaccos. As a result of
this we will shortly be launching the following new
tobaccos: Erinmore Balkan Mixture which will be very
similar to Dunhill Early morning pipe and Orlik Bull's
Eye which will be similar to Dunhill De Luxe Navy
Rolls. We also recommend Punchbowle as being similar
to Dunhill 965 which just leaves Dunhill Flake and
Dunhill Royal Yacht, I hope to be able to announce
comparable tobaccos for these at a later date. |

| Due to recent strikes at Royal
Mail we would ask all our customers to allow
additional time for the delivery of your order while
any backlog of mail is cleared. We have also been
notified that further strikes will be taking place in
the coming weeks and would again ask you to allow
extra time for delivery of any order you may place
during the next few weeks. |

| 48 hour postal strikes have been
announced for Friday and Saturday 5/6 October, and 8/9

to order earlier than normal to avoid your order being
caught up in these latest strikes. |

| Having reviewed our shipping
charges following the introduction of pricing by
proportion and taking into account Royal Mail's
increase of postal costs from the 1st April it is with
regret that we have to increase our charges for UK
orders to £2.25 inclusive of vat, effective from
Monday 23rd April. Our Royal Mail insured service will
rise to £6.99. For European and Worldwide rates
please refer to the table within the shipping page of
our web site. |
| |
| 03/10/2006 |
| Royal Mail's new pricing in
proportion has drastically increased the cost of
posting light but relatively bulky items, as a result
we have had no option but to increase our shipping
charges for UK orders. From Wednesday 4th October 2006
our standard shipping charge on all UK orders will be
£1.75 which, I feel, still represents good value for
money. In addition to this we have also added a new
optional shipping class, Royal mail insured, which
will insure your parcel up to a value of £500 should
it get lost in the post. |
