Delivery Methods
This page contains information about the different delivery methods we offer. Our range of delivery methods is very comprehensive, so you are sure to find a delivery method that is right for you.
We always send used book orders no later than the working day following the order - also during high season and peak times. Please note, however, that in sparsely populated areas the delivery time may differ from what is stated! The delivery time for new books shipped from the central warehouse is 1-4 business days longer
Delivery time is calculated from placing the order. "Day 0" means "same day" for orders placed before 6:00 a.m. For orders placed after this, "day 0" is the next business day.
