Terms of Sale
IMPORTANT - WE CAN NO LONGER SHIP BOOKS TO CUSTOMERS IN THE EU
The EU has recently introduced new import regulations that require us to register with *every country in the EU* (or related countries) to whom we sell for tax purposes and to get a tax (EORI) number for those countries. We are a small business and cannot afford the additional cost burden this would impose so unfortunately we can no longer sell books to buyers in the EU. If you are in an EU (or related) country please do not place an order with us or we will be forced to cancel it and void any card payment. Our apologies but the EU has simply made it unworkable for us.
Payment methods: Visa, MC, and Amex. Please contact us direct if you wish to pay with a Money Order or Cheque.
Please NOTE that we are unable to ship to an address other than the billing address on the credit card being used for payment due to the policies of our credit card processing bank - UNLESS you are known to us and have ordered previously.
Payment by personal check may delay shipping of your order. Sorry - we do not accept Paypal.
Books may be held pending payment by arrangement. Please inquire.
All books returnable within ten days of receipt for credit or refund. Unless the book is clearly not as described, refund is for the price of the book only.
