UK orders are shipped with Royal Mail, Parcelforce, or other commercial carriers.

Overseas orders are shipped with Royal Mail or recognised international carriers.

Lower value overseas orders shipped with Royal Mail use either Standard (airmail) or Economy (surface mail) services, which are not trackable.
If tracking is required, please indicate in the 'buyer special instructions' option and we will let you know the extra cost.

Overseas Economy Royal Mail services do not have a tracking facility.

We are unable to accept any liability for non-delivery of non-tracked shipments. Also we do not accept any liability for non-delivery of tracked items when one or more unsuccessful deliveries have been attempted.

Outside of Europe, the speed of Economy Royal Mail shipments is unpredictable.

Sometimes they go by air anyway, but occasionally delivery can be very slow (up to 3 months)

The delivery times provided are only a guide.

On the plus side, from over 45 years experience of shipping, it is very rare for a shipment to completely disappear

Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 pounds, or 1 Kilogram. If your book order is significantly heavier or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

If your order is significantly lower in weight than the default, we will usually reduced the shipping charge, or upgrade your delivery to a faster service
