Shipping terms
Free economy shipping in the UK, regardless of the number of books ordered or the value of the order.
Overseas shipping costs are dependent on the weight of the books orders. You may therefore see different shipping costs for different books quoted alongside the price of the book. Books to be sent to Hawaii and Alaska will incur an additional charge above that quoted for delivery to the USA (this is because couriers charge more for delivery to these states).
Our books are dispatched regularly three times a week. Please inquire if you require expediated or 'best endeavours' shipping.
We use bespoke book boxes for most books; very small, awkwardly-shaped, multi-volume sets etc may have different packaging solutions to best protect them in transit. Our book boxes are made from recycled material and are fully recyclable. We are commited to minimising the environment impact of our book business and hope that you can support us in this endeavour.
