I can combine P&P providing you wait for an invoice before making payment. Log into . and place the items in your basket, then use the “Request Total from Seller” (do not use the Proceed to Checkout button). I will then weigh your items and send you an invoice. If you are using a mobile app, this facility is sometimes not available and you may need to log in on a desktop or laptop. An alternative way is to click to purchase one item and then choose the continue buying with this seller option. Do not use the Pay Now. Ditto with the next and the next. I can then send you an invoice. Discounts cannot be given once you have paid, so please contact me if you still have a problem.
