Temporary pause on Europe and Northern Ireland shipping
Unfortunately, we have temporarily suspended our shipping to Europe and Northern Ireland due to a new EU law, GSPR, that comes into affect on 13th December 2024.
We are working on a solution so we can resume shipping to these destinations soon. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Print on demand delivery times
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 apply.
Order tracking
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 for this.
For UK orders, we offer the option of an upgraded special delivery service at checkout for £11.95 for orders under £50 and £16.95 for orders over £50. This allows UK orders to be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery and a tracking number will be supplied to customers using this delivery option.
Otherwise UK orders are sent second class via Royal Mail. Please note, these orders are not sent tracked.
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.
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.
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.
