Shipping Terms
Postage considerations
We aim to ensure our shipping costs are fair. Shipping abroad can be difficult with regard to cost and time of arrival. We have listed arrival times as per most defaults set by Abe, however most couriers do claim 6-7 days. that being said we do not quote these times when selecting service, and we also do not have a priority service for overseas, as the default company (Royal Mail) does not have a priority option. I am sure priority options are available in the marketplace, so if you want to discuss this with us please do so via the contact option, though the costs will be considerably higher, we can arrange with you once theser costs are added to the order and paid for and will ensure we have the item ready for the chosen courier to collect.
Due to our location we use 2 couriers, Royal Mail and Evri, we always quote a trackable service but ensure this is as cheap as is possible, we will add the tracking number to your order when we dispatch. We aim to dispatch next day at the latest, and please be aware the shipping charge includes packaging labels, and any other consumable item to ensure the item gets to you safely, we use parcelshop/locker options to keep the price down.
Overseas Customers
We have set postage charges, and times on an average basis, as to calculate this accurately can be difficult. If when we dispatch we find the postage is much cheaper than you paid we will refund the difference, back. this will only be likely for smaller books, as the price covers the average weight of most books.
I would advise customer planning on buying more than one book to check with us first, this way we can check the weight, and check whether the base price covers all the books. so ask first, however i revert you back to the statement above
We are new to selling on Abe books, but we are not new to ensuring customers get the best service possible, as we have 11 physical shops in the UK so please ask if you have any questions.
