Postage:
- Please note that any import taxes due on books sent from the UK to destinations abroad are the responsibility of the buyer to pay, as appropriate. Britains withdrawal from the EU now means that such charges are variously incurred to European destinations, as well as varying state taxes within the USA, Canada etc. Please understand that this is entirely out of our hands.
- For overseas postage all items are sent International tracked/signed (Royal Mail) or Parcelforce (UK couriers): These are all tracked and fully insured.
- We will ensure that all items sold are packed and distributed securely and professionally. We will respond to any comments or queries as quickly as possible.
- We are always to combine postage on multiple items purchased. Prices charged will depend on combined weight and size after being securely packed.
- We offer a multi-ship service and can hold items until larger consignments can be sent. This can help reduce postage costs greatly, especially for overseas buyers.
