New Badges.. UPDATE We now have all the new Participation (Joining in) Badges in stock. These are available now from the badge ordering pages for each section or under "New Badges and Publications" . Most of the OLD Participation Badges are still available. They are now at the reduced price of 35p each. At this time some of the new challenge badges have sold out. We are currently waiting for delivery of fresh supplies. These will be available again on line when they arrive and this posting updated. Please be patient. Keep checking back. Postal Cost Increases Please that we have amended our charges due to the new Royal Mail prices as of April 7th 2008. It is the first time we have altered the postage charges since 2005! We weathered the storm at the last big hike in cost and didn't change our prices at all. In fact, the last time an increase was forced we only did so by a very small margin. We know this is a very unpopular thing to do and we hate having to do it. This time it had to be done! The problem we have is that we serve not only groups buying in stocks of badges but those buying in stocks of uniform, books, resources and equipment. Also, we have to consider the individual parents who just need 1 sweatshirt or 1 neckie. We want to be as fair as we can to everyone. We have had a good look at the values and weights of orders that we have sent out over the past 6 months. There is a basic corelation between the value of an order and the weight of the package that is sent. The fairest way we could think to restructure the Standard Shipping prices was to base them on a rough 10% cost. This spreads the load of the postal price increase and help to maintain the low prices of the goods themselves. We believe that these prices are fair and realistic. We have kept the badge order charges separate for those whom are purely ordering badges. Shipping Costs as of 7th of April 2008 We are trialing 4 normal delivery options which are automatically banded in relation to the value of the order. 1) STANDARD Delivery: (Royal mail 2nd class or parcel delivery.)
