COVID-19 UPDATE:

as Post Offices return to normal hours we can once again offer Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day as our Expedited Shipping option. We will continue to use a 3-day courier service for standard domestic deliveries. There continue to be delivery delays to countries outside the UK. Please bear this in mind when ordering; if you are in a hurry for your order PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can discuss options.

Standard shipping terms:

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 1 Kg (2.24 lb). Books weighing between 1 and 2 kg can be sent within UK via courier or Standard Parcels at the standard postage rates. If your book order is heavy (more than 2 kg for UK customers, more than 1 kg for customers outside the UK), I may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. NOTE that I charge the same shipping cost to all EU countries, but the ABE system makes this rather difficult to set up; if you are ordering from an EU country not on the shipping costs list and so are charged the general International postage rate, I will refund the difference when processing your order.
