Overseas orders go by tracked Royal Mail airmail or by courier for larger or more expensive items - we do not send books by surface mail and cannot always mail bulkier orders to PO Box addresses. Heavy books will often require extra postage for overseas orders.
Books are normally mailed within 48hrs of confirmation of order.

Any faults must be notified within 7 days of receipt.
