Postage - British & Overseas

Within the UK we usually send most items by second class mail (weight permitting). To Europe, the USA, Canada, and everywhere else in the world we post by Airmail. We never use surface - it's too slow, and we do not charge extra for airmail, so please don't worry about it. 

Prices given are GBP (British Pounds).

UK Postage -  5 - 7 working days.  1st item £3.49+ each extra item Free.

Please allow upto 30 days, though it will usually be much quicker.

In the normal course of business over the last 47 years we have sent routinely to EU Countries. We live in an age of greedy and avaricious governments and it is probable yours is one of them. Since the 1st July 2026 EU Duty Charges are now added to the postal charge for your order, along with rather spurious handling fees by the postal service, and for some countries Vat at a variety of rates. Apparently the bureaucrats in Brussels feel you don't pay enough tax and need your money to keep the lights on.

Sometimes a very heavy item, usually some giant volume or set might need a little extra postage, but that's unusual and we won't ask you easily, so don't worry about it really.  Cosmo likes us to be as helpful as possible (she wants those doggie treats after all), and we're really not in the business of making postal services and carrier's rich at your expense.

We will post your order within a day or so of payment being received.

Overseas orders are usually posted once or twice a week, so that can add three or four days to the process as we prepare batches of mail.

Payment Methods Accepted

All orders can be paid with Paypal. When paying using Paypal our name is paypal@cosmobooks.co.uk

You may also securely pay with Visa, Mastercard, Discover, & American Express cards.

Guarantee & Refunds

We want you to be happy. Very happy. If you don't like the book when it arrives, just let us know, and arrange to send it back. We'll cheerfully refund your purchase price. Just remember to pack as well as we do, and get a proof of postage of course. However, we don't think you will need to return anything from our stocks, as we do take trouble to describe well, pack well, and ship to you promptly.
