Delivery times
Standard
We ship out our items using Royal Mail Standard Delivery. We aim to ship your item within two working days. You will receive email confirmation once your order has shipped.
Our standard delivery times vary slightly according to the delivery destination. For items which we have in stock at the shop, we aim to deliver within:
UK – 2–5 working days
Europe – 5–7 working days
Rest of the world – 10–14 working days
Please note, if your order contains print-on-demand prints, certain clothing items or specialist books, these will be dispatched separately to the rest of your order. This means that you will receive your order in multiple deliveries and not all items at once. Where this is the case, our team will be in contact with you to update you on when certain items have shipped. If in doubt, please contact us to check the status of your order.
Print on demand
We are delighted to be able to offer customisable print-on-demand items in collaboration with King and McGaw. Each print is made by hand in the UK, which does mean these take a little longer to prepare.
King and McGaw will dispatch your custom print directly to you from their studio in Sussex. It can take up to four weeks for prints to be created and sent. You will receive a shipping notification via email, when your print has been dispatched.
If you have ordered other items, which are not printed on demand, these will be shipped separately by our team at the bookshop and standard delivery times apply.
