Why won't you ship to the Isle of Man? |

Because of the regulations relatively recently introduced regarding the shipping of paint. These can cause delays, and incur a great deal of expense to our shipping agent (and we've checked with more than one courier)
We *can* ship to the Isle of Man but you should expect courier costs of at least £30, possibly up to £60 for the cost of a parcel.
We don't actually make any money on shipping costs, we pass on the cost that we pay (in fact sometimes we subsidise courier costs!).
We may well have to add the Isle of Wight onto our "we can't ship there" as they also incur a surcharge of over £20 (in additional to the base cost) which we have only just become aware of.

I would pay the courier cost if known, £30 would be okay. |

we'd need to know what the order is for (and therefore able to calculate weight, number of parcels etc) before we could get a quote from the courier. EMFields would be willing to try it for you. |

Thanks, it would be for the 5 litres of HF54 to the Isle of Man. |

It would be shipped via airmail (it's a short flight so the paint will not break down).
The package weighs about 8 kilos, and my courier has quoted £45 (plus VAT) - as we just pass on the direct cost, the final price is £52.83 (inc VAT) for courier costs.

Thanks. I have a question about this product! I know it has a shelf life of 12 months in the container, but how long does it last (stay effective) once painted on walls?

The manufacturers say that the paint effectiveness will last as long as the surface it is painted on! We have certainly not noticed any changes in the paint we put up on our walls some 2 and a half years ago. |
