Shipping terms
All books are carefully packaged by hand (where possible using sustainable materials). Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Estimated shipping costs are based on your total order weighing less than 750g. If your total order is heavy (more than 750g) or oversized, we may contact you to let you know that extra shipping is required.
All orders will include delivery tracking, which by virtue of placing an order, the buyer agrees to accept as proof of delivery. Additional charges may apply for signature upon delivery if required.
Insurance is available upon request, but may require an additional charge. For orders outside the UK over £50 (over £75 for orders within the UK) we will quote delivery including the additional insurance. If the buyer decides to proceed without that insurance, it is at their own risk.
For orders outside the UK, the actual delivery charge can vary significantly depending upon destination and weight of order. We therefore will always confirm the actual postage charge following your order.
