Replacement of Damaged Books

If you receive a damaged book and wish to have it replaced, you must make your claim to us by fax or email within seven days of the day on which the book is actually delivered to the address nominated in your order.

You must then post the book back to us by pre-paid post. We will send you a replacement copy immediately we receive the damaged book from you.

If you send us the receipt for the return postage charge or if the cost of postage is clear on the posted item, then depending on the way you paid for the book in the first instance, we will refund the cost of postage to you by cheque or by EFT or be crediting the credit card you used to make the purchase.

Returns and Refunds

If you are not satisfied with the book and wish to return it and obtain a refund, you may do so provided that:

††† you tell us by fax or email within seven days of the day on which the book is actually delivered to the address nominated in your order that you intend returning the book;

††† the book is returned to us by pre-paid post in mint resaleable condition, together with the original invoice

If due to insufficient or inadequate packaging the book is damaged in transit back to us or if it is clear that it had been 'used' before being returned, it will not be accepted as a 'return' and will be sent back to you at your cost.

If we, acting reasonably, accept a book as a 'return', depending upon the way you paid for the book in the first instance, we will refund the cost to you by cheque or by EFT or by crediting the credit card you used to make the purchase.

Provided you send us the receipt for the return postage charge or if the cost of postage is clear on the posted item, we shall also refund the cost of postage.
