How international delivery works
UK delivery is free. Outside the UK, we quote the shipping on request at the courier’s cost price, usually with a choice of an economy service, taking about 3–5 working days, or a faster express one. Internationally, we send with couriers such as UPS and FedEx.

Import duties and taxes
When a parcel crosses a border, the destination country’s customs may charge import duties or taxes on arrival. They’re set by that country, not by us, and they aren’t part of our shipping price.
We’d rather be straight with you than have a fee surprise you on the doorstep. We can’t promise that your parcel will arrive with nothing to pay, so ask us about import fees when we quote and we’ll talk it through with you.
If the books are a gift, or you’re sending them on to someone else, it’s kind to let the person receiving them know that a fee may be due.
Europe, the USA, Canada and beyond
If the books are going to a business in the EU, a free EORI number speeds your parcel through customs. It takes about five minutes to get. Send it to us with your delivery details.
We print in Colchester and ship by tracked courier. Import fees may be charged on arrival, so ask us about them when we quote.
Send us the full delivery address and we’ll quote the shipping at the courier’s cost price, with the services available to you.
How long it takes
Allow our print time first, then the courier’s transit time on top. In the UK, stapled booklets are with you in 3 working days, perfect bound books in 5 and hardbacks in 7, and lead times depend on run length and print spec.
Abroad, add the transit time: about 3–5 working days on an economy service, or less on express.
Allow extra time, as customs can occasionally hold a parcel up. Tell us your date before you order and we’ll say straight away whether it’s doable. Our turnaround guide shows how to plan back from a date.
Samples, split deliveries and what we need
- Paper samples abroad: our sample pack costs £5 to post overseas. Allow 1–2 weeks for it to arrive.
- More than one address: tell us the addresses and how many copies go to each, and we’ll quote the split delivery.
- What we need from you: the full delivery address, including the postcode or ZIP code, plus a contact name and a phone number the courier can use.
