If you are unsatisfied with any of the items received, your money will be refunded in full upon return of the unwanted items.
Do I get a postage reduction for multiple purchases?
Yes indeed. In the UK we refund 10% of the total postage for two or more items, and 50% for five or more items. There is a maximum charge in the
UK of £15 for up to twenty total volumes. Overseas it is 10% for two or more items, 20% for five or more items, and 30% for ten or more items.
This will be refunded to your Paypal account or credit or debit card before the order is sent. It can not be done
automatically at present due to the large variation in postage costs for different items and locations.
All items are priced in UK £. For other currencies, click here, enter United
Kingdom £ price, and click on your region of the world.
