Taxes for overseas orders

You are responsible for assuring that the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country.

In situations where the correct address information has been provided and the book(s) have not been delivered, we will either re-order and resend the order, or issue a refund, 21 days after the initial parcel was sent. This gives us time to resolve any delivery issues and recover the article if it has been mishandled or returned to us by Australia Post.
