We have been delivering and mailing books since we opened in 1957. The methods and rates for doing this change from time to time. Since books are heavy, the variations can be considerable and it is invidious to estimate charges in advance. When you place an order we will calculate the delivery charges according to the exact weight of the book(s), the destination, and the expected speed of delivery. This means that if a book is not yet in stock we will only confirm postage prices, and take payment, once it has arrived and has been weight.

Here are some guidelines which may be helpful (and subject to alteration without notice):

LONDON

Same-day courier: £12

UK

Royal Mail 2nd class small parcel: £4.50
Royal Mail 1st class small parcel: £5.50

Heavier parcels are exceedingly expensive to send by Royal Mail. It is often more economical to send books in smaller batches or, surprisingly, by courier.

48hr Tracked Courier Starting at £12.00

INTERNATIONAL

We continue to send books overseas.

Airmail: 2-3 weeks

Tracked Courier: This is not only the safest option, it is also the quickest. For packages over 5 kg it is almost always also the cheapest option. However, please note that packages cannot be sent to PO Box addresses by courier. Contact telephone number and signature upon receipt required.
