Orders for items other than subscriptions are normally despatched from stock within 24 hours (Monday to Friday) using second-class post (UK) or Airmail (International). From time to time, however, delays in despatch can occur, and we don't send out any post on Saturdays or Sundays. If you have particular requirements regarding delivery times, please let us know and we will advise our expected despatch date and can discuss priority delivery services. Where possible, if we are out of stock of any items we will supply part orders and hold balances of orders until new stocks arrive - if you have particular requirements regarding delivery times, please let us know and we will advise our expected despatch date and can discuss priority delivery services. You may cancel any undelivered orders at any time if you prefer not to wait. Please note that some of the earlier back issues are printed on receipt of order, and may take a little longer to send than usual.

Please be aware that unless you discuss and accept a priority delivery service (at extra cost), we are unable to guarantee delivery times. In addition, we are unable to investigate delayed deliveries for 21 days (UK) though in many cases delayed items are actually at local sorting offices so you should check at your local office if your order hasn't arrived within 7 days. Please note that at busy times (particularly near Christmas), deliveries can take longer than usual, so please order in plenty of time.

Non-EU orders may be subject to customs and duties (taxes) which are payable, by you, upon receipt of the order. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, nor are we able to estimate what they would be as they vary from country to country. You may want to check with your local Customs Department for more information or for an estimate of these charges.
Please be aware that unless you discuss and accept a priority delivery service, we are unable to guarantee delivery times.
