POSTAGE

IMPORTANT – EU CUSTOMERS

We are currently stopping all orders on books shipping to the EU due to the new Packaging and Recycling Regulation that started to be enforced on 12th August. There will be no shipping option available if you try to order.

We are currently working on this issue and we hope we can resume posting once we have made a full assessment of the situation and if the rules change for small businesses.

You could possibly try using some forwarding parcel service (like myukmailbox, ukpostbox or forward2me) that allow you to use a UK warehouse as an intermediate, however we cannot guarantee that they are following the new PPWR regulation themselves and that the parcel will arrive without any issue.

As we are an unfunded charity, our sole source revenue is through book sales so this decision has a very serious impact on us. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

* Tracked Royal Mail 48 hour delivery in the UK (after postage)

* International Tracked Delivery Worldwide (for tracked & signed please see below)

You can now order up to 10 books at a time. Please contact us if you need to order more books.

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 or courses happening at the School.

If you want to pay extra for using Paypal, or for International Tracked & Signed delivery please write to us at booksandcourses@theschoolofhistoricaldress.org.uk for prices.

Please be aware that now the UK (United Kingdom) has left the EU (European Union) orders from the UK to the EU may incur VAT, Customs Duty, Taxes and/or Handling Charges. These are beyond our control and are the responsibility of the customer to pay. If, for any reason, you do not accept your parcel and the goods are returned to us in London, you will  be refunded the value of the items, less any charges that we incur.
