Deliveries within the UK are completed by Royal Mail standard class. 

NB  sometimes heavier items are sent by courier but the vast majority go by royal mail as default. 

Brexit, border closures, and changes to EU tariffs will inevitably impact the book supply chain. Please know that we are working through the details and regulations to ensure we can still deliver books across Europe, but there may be some delay in receiving your order during these early stages.

We are unable to offer priority shipping at the moment.

 

I haven't received a dispatch email?

As the national lockdown restrictions begin to ease, we will continue to follow government guidelines to ensure the safety of our customers and booksellers. For the time being, some of our bookshops and stock locations will be operating under reduced opening hours, or remain closed. As a result, some orders are taking longer than usual to be dispatched.

My New and Used Marketplace order has not arrived?

Please note we are unable to accept cancellations for marketplace titles.
