Squirrel's Haven is the place where my family and I sell on to other collectors the books, games and items we no longer have room for, or have read/played and no longer want to keep.

My name is Maddie and as the internet enthusiast of the family, it has fallen to me to run the shop.

We are not a business, just a family of avid readers and computer gamers who always seems to run out of room!

We try to keep everything homey and personal, so when you buy, you are buying from a real family who will reply quickly to enquiries and will try to make sure you get exactly the item you want, when you want it.

We do this for fun and to make room on our book shelves. We hope you find something you like.

We don't consider the transaction complete until the buyer is satisfied. If there is a problem, please do contact us and we will sort it out.

Below are copied the postage rates from the post office. These are the latest rates from the Royal Mail website.

The price of the postage on the auction listings includes the mailing prices (below), plus  the cost of the packing materials, and the weight of the packing materials added to the weight of the item itself, but that is usually not more than 10 pence or so.

In cases where we have charged more than the postage actually costs, once it is processed at the post office, we refund the extra back to you.

If you paid by PayPal, we refund to your PayPal account.

If you have paid by cheque or postal order, we will refund you by sending you the sum in postage stamps.

As you can tell by the feedback, we buy as much as we sell and we also hate getting gouged on postage and so therefore we refuse to do it to others!!  

The price you pay is for the postage price and packing materials....nothing more!

Please note: Due to work commitments we are unable to post items on a Saturday.

Thanks for reading - and happy bidding and buying :-))
