Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.0 lbs or less. Note that due to new Brexit policies the cost of shipping to the UK has increased significantly, especially for high-value shipments requiring insurance. If your book order is heavy, thick, over-sized (most folio/quarto "4to"), or multi-volume, an extra shipping charge will likely be assessed to cover the actual cost of the shipment, or your order will be cancelled. Overnight and expedited shipping is available.
