UK customers: Payment can be made by cheque (payable to Tony Peterson) on receipt of books and invoice. A pro-forma invoice may be issued for new customers or large amounts.
Non-UK customers: Pre-payment is preferred by bank
transfer, Paypal, Postal Money Order, or cash for small amounts.
Postage costs: Postage is charged at cost, usually
rounded down. Books are sent by first class post (unless second requested) or
standard parcel if over 1.25kg. For non-UK orders the airmail printed paper
service is used for Europe. For outside Europe I will quote air and surface mail
prices. For non-UK orders over 2kg there is an airmail M-bag service available
which is very economical for larger orders.
