Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update: Posting Your Samples Please try to only use normal first class mail for sending your samples and not “special delivery” or “signed for”.
First class mail is generally reliable and as we are short staffed due to coronavirus, it is not always easy to get out to sign for items. Thank you for your cooperation.
