Delivery information

If you order one book only for delivery within the island of Ireland, the order will be, most likely, dispatched on the same day, regardless of the day of the week. If An Post keeps their promise of next-day delivery, you'll get your book within 2 days. If this doesn't happen, it won't be our fault, as this will be beyond our control.

If you order more than one book, we might not have the regular stamps handy, and will need to go to the post office to buy them; this will be possible only from Monday to Saturday (An Post closes at 1 pm on Saturdays), so if you order on Saturday pm, we will be able to post your order the earliest on Monday morning.

If you order for UK delivery (excluding Northern Ireland), An Post promises 2-3 working days, but this rarely happens; please be aware that for some parcels it may take even 3 weeks to reach the destination within the UK. The same applies to other destinations outside Ireland.
