We send international orders tracked. If you have placed an international order, you will receive a tracking number in your shipping dispatch email. If you cannot see your tracking number, please contact us.

There may be local duty and/or taxes payable on goods delivered outside the UK. National Theatre Enterprises is not responsible for paying these charges.

At present, we are only able to ship out books and plays to Europe and US due to shipping regulations. We hope to reopen more product groups soon. Thank you for your patience whilst we work on resolving this.

Exceptional delivery charges

Please note, we reserve the right to vary postage charges as necessary on items that are unusually high in weight, volume or value. We will contact customers to agree the required rate prior to shipping.

Part deliveries

If you have ordered more than one item, there is a chance that we will ship out your items to you in separate parcels. Our team will contact you to let you know. 

Print on demand items and subscriptions will also be sent out separately from the rest of your order.

We are delighted to be able to offer customisable print-on-demand prints 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 order 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 and charges apply.   

Please note, we are unable to make changes to print on demand orders/items once they have been placed.
