Postage for items provided on approval must be paid by the customer both ways.How can we pay for an order if we don't want to give credit card details over the internet?

If books are in stock, turnaround time is usually 7-10 days.Backordered titles depend on whether the title(s) are being ordered in from overseas or from an Australian Publisher. We order our overseas shipment at least once a quarter, so there is usually only a short wait.
Backordered titles may also be under reprint or not yet published. Please be patient as it can take some time to be advised when titles will become available.
