Shipping

Postage and packing is charged extra at cost. Our defaults are the cheapest trackable by Royal Mail to:

    UK - 2nd class up to 2kg, 1st class above that weight, Special Delivery or Parcelforce Express48
    Europe - by Airmail 'signed for' (which is almost the same cost as Surface mail, in a few cases is cheaper, and much quicker)
    Rest of the world - by Surface mail 'signed for'

    ...in each case, unless you specify otherwise in your order.

Consolidation: In the case of orders for multiple books we will ship as one parcel where weight limits and size limits allow. 'Printed Papers' rate allows parcels of books up to 5kg to be sent to most overseas destinations (Canada and Cambodia excepted, max. 2kg)

Packing: All books are packed for protection at the minumum weight, bubblewrap, book boxes, corrugated cardboard and/or Mailite Plus postal envelopes.

General: The cost of shipping varies with the weight of the total order and the destination so we can't, in fairness, build in a fixed shipping cost. We will add the cost of shipping, including a small amount for the cost of packing, and will email you with the total cost on despatch. Where we are sending to a corporate, institutional or other multi-occupancy address, where payment has been made by a method which obscures the origin or where we are unable to otherwise confirm the delivery address we will add the cost of a 'signed for' or tracked service.
