Shipping terms
Most of my books can be shipped to any part of the world or collected by arrangement. Orders usually ship within 2 business days and frequently within one day of cleared payment. Please note that the default ABE shipping charges do not necessarily apply and that in most cases my shipping charges are considerably less. The rate for first-class Royal Mail letter post or parcel post within the UK is often specified with the item description. Please advise if you would prefer second-class post, recorded delivery, special delivery etc. If an overseas rate is not specified please ask for a quote. Post and packing charges are kept to a modest limit reflecting the true cost. If extra insurance (such as through special delivery or international signed for) is not detailed but required then please ask for a quote. In any event, for Royal Mail items a certificate of posting will always be obtained. All books are very securely packaged.
