What is the delivery time frame and the shipping charges?

Please note that our personalised books are shipped from a different warehouse.  As a result, an order that includes both personalised and non-personalised books will not arrive at the same time.  In addition, when you check-out you will see 2 delivery lines, one for our standard Egmont book range and one for our personalised book range.

The Egmont book range:

Shipping method	Cost	Delivery Time
Standard Shipping (Royal Mail)	£0*	Up to 7 working days
Standard Shipping (Royal Mail)	£1.80	Up to 7 working days
Express Shipping (Fedex)	£2.30	Up to 3 working days

The Personalised Egmont book range:

Shipping method	Cost	Delivery Time
Standard Shipping (Royal Mail)	£0**	Up to 14 working days
Express Shipping (DHL)	NA	Currently not available

 

Delivery charges are displayed in GBP. During the checkout process, you will be able to select your preferred shipping service.

* As a special introductory offer, Egmont will ship any orders over £15 (excluding personalised books) free of charge if the Standard Shipping method is chosen.

** As a special introductory offer, Egmont will ship any personalised orders free of charge. This will change on the 1st May 2013 when print on demand orders will cost £1.80 for first class royal mail.

Please note that standard shipping is a non-traceable shipment method.  Should you choose express shipping, your account details will show the tracking number as soon as your package has left our warehouse.  You can type this number into www.fedexuk.net/accounts/Track.aspx to find out where your package is.

I do not live in the UK, can I order from www.egmont.co.uk?

We can currently only ship orders to the UK.  Should you not have a shipping address in the UK then we can unfortunately not help you for the moment, our apologies.

What happens if the billing and the shipping address are different?

In this case, the books will be shipped with an invoice that lists the books in the order but doesn’t show how much they cost (this is so you can send a package as a present). The billing address also gets an invoice but this time the cost of the books is shown along with the postage.

The packaging we use to ship our books in is all made from recycled material. The padding used to keep your books safe in the post is recycled paper – we never use plastic or bubble wrap.
