Terms & Shipping

MEANS OF PAYMENT:

If at the checkout you elect to pay by card, your encrypted card details will be sent for me to process manually, and I will not have to return to you to complete the transaction. If you choose PayPal, I will send you a PayPal request for payment: please respond to this promptly. In either case the total will include the appropriate shipping cost.  For payment by Bank Transfer or Cheque - see below.

Shipping: Orders usually ship same or next business day. Books are securely packed (appropriate to their vulnerability).

SHIPPING CHARGES:

***PLEASE NOTE !   

My fluid and fair charges for Shipping still apply, but due to a revised system adopted for all their clients by my webhosts, there has to be a sum showing as being the ‘Total’ when you check out. Unfortunately that is a misnomer here: what is showing is simply the price of the book or books you have ordered, but does NOT include the shipping, because I have not provided a fixed scale with which the system can work. 

FALSE TOTAL!!       

In this example, to find the actual cost, the customer should check the appropriate shipping charge showing below, which will be added to the £350 ‘Total’.

My apologies for this dissonance: I expect in due course to comply.

 

Shipping will be charged at approximate cost: you will not be charged more than the prices shown here without further notification, and in most cases you will be charged less. These prices include insurance (Special Delivery within the UK) for orders of more than £100 . If you require express service, or insurance on orders up to (and including) £100 , you will be charged for these at cost. In the event of Customs Duties or Import Charges being raised on your purchase, you will be liable for these charges.

Overseas orders will be sent by AIR MAIL unless surface mail is requested.

Except for those books marked 'Heavy Item' after the description (see below), shipping for a first item* may cost up to:

Within UK: First Class post: £3.60
Europe: Airmail: £9
USA: Airmail: £22
Rest of World (non-Europe): Airmail (about 1 week): £15
Rest of World (non-Europe): Surface Mail (if requested) (up to 3 months): £10

Books marked 'Heavy Item' after the description, may cost up to:

Within UK: 'Heavy Item' First Class post: £6
Europe: 'Heavy Item' Airmail: £12.50
USA:  'Heavy Item' Airmail: £29
Rest of World (non-Europe): 'Heavy item' Airmail (about 1 week): £22
Rest of World (non-Europe): 'Heavy Item' Surface Mail (if requested) (up to 3 months): £13

*For each subsequent item in the same order:
For UK and Surface Mail: please add half the amount quoted for a first item.
For Airmail (to Europe or Rest of World): add the full amount quoted for a first item.

n.b. In the case of books, or sets of books, marked 'EXTRA Heavy Item', the above guidelines do not apply. Either order or contact me direct, and I will quote for shipping on an ad hoc basis. 

********************************************************************************************************************

If you select Bank Transfer or Cheque when ordering through the website, I will get back to you to notify you of the total cost including shipping so that you can proceed with payment. Alternatively you can get in touch by telephone or email to place your order and ask about the shipping cost.

Bank Transfer: (preferred for very expensive items)
Bank: Santander UK plc, Bridle Road, Bootle, Merseyside, L30 4GB, UK
a/c name: Chapel Books Mr R S Jackson so trading
a/c 05312698
sort code 09 01 50
BIC: ABBYGB2LXXX
IBAN: GB60ABBY09015005312698

Cheques:

I accept sterling cheques drawn on a UK bank.** Cheques should be made payable to Chapel Books. Cheques need to clear before books are despatched unless customers are known to me. Very acceptable, of course, but rather laborious and not my preferred means. [**Non-sterling cheques and sterling cheques drawn on non-UK banks incur a conversion charge of £10 .]

Returns:

Any item can be returned for any reason.
If you wish to return a book because it was found to be not as described, I will refund you in full for book and shipping (and possibly offer some credit by way of atonement).
If the book is as described but you decide that you dont want it anyway, you will be refunded for the book less my shipping costs.
To activate a return, you should first contact me within a week of receiving the book. Returns are strictly conditional upon your packing the book carefully and securely so that it reaches me in the condition in which I sent it.

n.b:  all items are offered subject to prior sale (although I do my utmost to avoid this being an issue).

Institutions and libraries billable. Trade discount to bona fide dealers.
