Shipping terms
We will ship via Royal Mail and maybe other carriers, but aim to keep the costs as low as possible; if you would like any books insured then we will be able to do that, but you will be responsible for the costs - unless we feel it better to insure the books, then we will pay the cost.
Quotes can be given for any insurance asked for.
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
