MAIN LINES TO THE WEST

ALL ORDERS ARE MAILED IN PROPER CARDBOARD MAILERS OR LARGER CARTONS FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION - we have never had a book damaged due to poor packging in over 30 years of mail order dealing and last year only one order out of over 11,000 went astray!

Standard UK orders are sent Royal Mail 48hrs delivery, more expensive items will be sent via tracked RM post or by courier.

Overseas orders go by fully tracked and insured Royal Mail airmail or by courier for larger or more expensive items - we do not send books by surface mail and cannot always mail bulkier orders to PO Box addresses. Heavy books will often require extra postage for overseas orders.
Books are normally mailed within 48hrs of confirmation of order.

Within the UK only any book may be returned at buyers expense within 14 days. Full refunds only given for books which are materially defective or significantly not as described. Any faults must be notified within 7 days of receipt. We do NOT normally note minor inscriptions, owners names etc., unless particularly significant or unsightly, nor do we note price clipped dustwrappers (other than on scarce 1st editions) and other trivia etc.

We have been one of the UK's leading dealers in railway, transport and industrial history books for many years. See our main web site at www.bottbooks.com for our full details and catalogues. We offer a selection of our stock online and ship all orders quickly in professional cardboard mailers to offer maximum protection in transit. ABE Shipping rate is a generalised rate - please try to order direct from own website at bottbooks.com where postage costs will almost always be lower and free for order over £100 in the UK.
