A Note on Our Shipping Rates

While we would love to offer all our customers free owls to deliver books, we have sadly discovered we are not magic and must use muggle-post.

So our shipping costs are calculated by weight and region.

Luckily we hired a little witch to work out the weights of all our books magically at checkout. (A typical paperback plus packaging usually weighs less than 0.5 kg.) Hope this helps!

We aim to dispatch all orders within 3 working days so you can expect to receive delivery within approximately 3 - 7 working days depending on the service you choose and where you live.

High Value Items & International Shipping

For peace of mind we always recommend choosing fully tracked and insured services for delivery (for additional insurance coverage on UK Courier Services please click here)

However, international shipping prices are sometimes eyewatering! So we have chosen to include an Economy option, which has a number of caveats you should be aware of before selecting... The differences are outlined in the chart below:

Royal Mail International - Tracked	Royal Mail International Economy
Tracked	NOT Tracked
Insured up to £50 for damages/loss	Insured up to £20
Additional insurance up to £250 available for £2.50 (can be added to your basket here)	N/A
Par Avion / Air Mail	By Boat
Relatively swift delivery (depending on your location) days / weeks	Very Slow (depending on your location) weeks / months
5kg max weight (For orders over 5kg - contact us for a quote)	5kg max weight (For orders over 5kg - contact us for a quote)

Import Taxes: Because we are a small family run business we do not subscribe to IOSS, and therefore Delivery Duty remains Unpaid (DDU) by us. Depending on your location, you may encounter extra delays to delivery and/or VAT charges levied by your local customs authorities. Unless you have paid for a tracked service, we will be unable to provide any further information on your parcel's whereabouts or ETA. We are sorry if you encounter any inconveniences and will gladly help with tracking whenever possible.
