Online Shop

Find information about online ordering of books and literature here.

From the 1st of April 2022 if you are placing an International order (this means any destination outside the UK) you may incur additional charges such as import duty and tax and custom charges.

** Italy: The Italian Government has introduced a €2 fee for parcels from outside the EU. This fee will be collected directly from the Italian recipient **

Any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches it’s destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. We have no control over these charges. Because policies and charges vary by country and can change regularly, we cannot provide any indication of these charges. if you require further information regarding this, we advise that you contact your local customs office for further information.

Alternative delivery address: DPD offer a ‘send to shop’ option which means the parcel will be delivered to a local point for you to collect. Details of this  will be on the delivery / tracking email.

Undelivered items: DPD will make one delivery attempt, any undelivered items will be taken to the nearest local point for collection within 7 days before the parcel is returned to GSO.
