Please note that we aim to send books within 5 working days from the date of the order but we do cannot post orders everyday as there is no permanent staff at the School. Exceptional delays might occur in case of events happening at the School or at the time of a new book release.
Due to weight limits with Royal Mail, you cannot order more than 3 books at a time for International orders (7 books maximum in the UK) and no shipping options will be available if you do. Please place multiple orders for more books (no change in postage costs).
Please note that any books to Canada will have to be purchased individually and sent separately at no surcharge due to weight limits of 2 kg per parcel.
We are currently working on a solution to this issue but it won’t be implemented until the New Year.
