How Deliveries Are Made & To Where
Signature Gifts Limited (trading as Historic-Newspapers.co.uk) will deliver the Products ordered by you to the address you give for delivery when you make your order. You may specify a delivery address that is different from your invoice address, if, for example, you would like Signature Gifts Limited to deliver the Products directly to a friend, a relative, or to your place of work.
Heavier items such as newspaper books are normally sent via a ‘sign-for’ service and urgent deliveries are always ‘sign-for’ service.
We cannot deliver to PO boxes if your delivery is via our courier service (all UK urgent and International).
