Multi Purchase Arrangements

It is currently  Retrofair Policy to charge a single Post and Packing fee regardless of how many ads you buy in a single transaction. That means if you purchase several ads at the same time (no limit) and require them sent anywhere in the world you will only pay dispatch costs for the one single biggest ad in the order.

Multi Purchase through Paypal Shopping Cart
Currently due to Paypal limitations we are only able to apply your shipping refund after you have made a full purchase. On receipt of your multi purchase order made through Paypal, we confirm it by email within 24 hours. In the same correspondence we tell you how much shipping refund you are due, and when it will be processed (usually within 24 hours).

Your refund is then quickly and securely processed through Paypal to the account address you used to place the order. You will then be sent a further refund confirmation email from Retrofair and possibly from Paypal (depending on your paypal account preferences)

Please contact us as soon as possible if you don't receive a refund confirmation email from us within the 24 hour stated period period.

Multi Purchase - Direct Orders

If you prefer you can place an order of any size with us direct. 

Simply use our contact form to tell us which ads  you want.

On receipt we will quickly check if the ads are still available** and place a reserved note on the website listing so no one else is able to make a purchase whilst your transaction is being processed.
