If these instructions do not work then I apologise – and if you find a way to make it work then please contact us and I’ll amend these instructions.
How much is postage and packing?
Due to the increase in Royal Mail postage costs over the last few years, we have had to revise our postage and packing costs as below.
See below for details of our Limited Edition books
Postage/shipping on orders will be charged as follows:
| Destination | How | Approximate time to deliver | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK | Royal Mail | 2-3 days | 20% of the order value |
| Europe | Airmail | 7 days | 40% of the order value |
| Rest of the world | Surface mail | 2-6 weeks | 40% of the order value |
| Rest of the world | Airmail | 10 days | 60% of the order value |
Matching Set cards & envelopes you will see that the postage and packing on these is calculated at a lower percentage than shown above
Address books due the the heavy weight of these to post you will see that these are calculated at the cost to ship the goods to you (rather than a percentage of the value of the goods)
Canvas print orders can take up 14 days to be processed as they are made to order. Also, they will need a signature upon delivery so please specify an address where someone will be able to sign for it.
Most orders will be processed and despatched within 7 working days, but please note that your choice of shipping will determine how long it takes to arrive.
If your order is urgent or for a special occasion please contact us and we will do our best to despatch to you by return.

Courier charges for the David Shepherd 80th Birthday Archive Collection Book

I can’t see the delivery cost in my basket?
On adding an item to your shopping basket, please choose the delivery destination carefully for each item.
- We ask you to do this because the shipping costs are calculated when you add the item to the basket, not when you pay.
- Note we can only deliver to one destination per order (see below).
- Choosing the wrong delivery destination for an item might result in a delay to your order since we have to have enough payment to cover delivery.
How do send to several different addresses?
Unfortunately, we can only deliver to the address that you specify when you pay for your order and we can’t process multiple delivery destinations for an individual order – but:
- You can make several separate orders putting the address where we should send the item to in the NOTES section of Pay Pal
- If it is a simple order for example: you order 2 calendars and want one to be sent to a different address please put this in the NOTES section of Pay Pal – or you can email us direct giving us the details and we can send for you
- Or you can contact us direct and we’ll gladly assist you or make several separate orders.
How can I find out how much my order will be in a different currency?
If you want to know roughly how much your order will be in your own currency – you can use the currency converter below, or you can do a search on ‘Currency Converter’ and use one of the results – or you can click here
