Shipping Guidelines

Return to Guidelines

International shipping is a complicated issue revolving around many factors. Size, weight, and number of titles ordered are the main factors, Individual countries, states and provinces also have separate postal and taxation systems, and there are many choices as to the speed and type of delivery.
Each order is unique, and is treated individually. It takes time for our staff to prepare and calculate shipping costs, so it is best to confirm your needs before placing your order. Although there is too many criteria to list, we have tried to present an outline of "general" shipping costs and considerations.
