Shipping of back-ordered and pre-ordered items
Where an existing resource is back-ordered because we are out of stock, the item will be shipped as soon as it comes back into stock. If you have ordered other resources that are in stock, these will be shipped immediately. (Only one shipping charge will be applied.)
However, if you are pre-ordering a new book, your total order will be shipped once the pre-ordered book is in stock. If you wish to have other items shipped immediately, please place a separate order for those items.
Downloadable items
You will not be charged shipping costs where you only order downloadable electronic items, e.g. ebooks, MP3s, PDFs. However these items are included with your order value for the calculation of shipping charges when there are also physical products in your cart (due to a bug in the Shopify platform which we can't resolve ourselves but have reported and hope will be fixed). You may prefer to order your downloadable items separately.
Incorrectly addressed items
We can not take responsibility for the shipping address provided being undeliverable or incorrect. If items are returned by the carrier we will reship it at the actual cost of shipment and your credit card will be charged for that amount.
