Shipping Terms
- All the books are professionally packed with bubble wrap & a book box and are fully insured. Whilst making every effort to reduce the amount of packaging we use we want to make sure the books are securely packed so we kindly ask our customers to either reuse or recycle our packaging.
- Orders will usually be dispatched within 2-3 working days.
- International orders: Our international postage is calculated based on an average 1Kg package. For orders where additional shipping payment is required the customer will be contacted before we process the sale.
- We post all international orders via Airmail which normally takes 5-10 working days, but sometimes it may take a bit longer, as this service relies on postal services around the world. If the postal service are unable to deliver your parcel they will return it to your local sorting office.
