Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs.  However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the World). 

 

These costs are a direct result of: 

 

  • An increase of more than 100% in the fees the US Postal Service (USPS) charges for the delivery of international mail.

 

  • Securing air freight at inflated market costs due to a 95% reduction in air passenger flights globally. This has not affected domestic or postage within the EU.

 

“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”

 

If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.

 

Unwinsbooks always obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail.   Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be sent by courier (customer will be informed).

 

Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books and dispatched once payment has cleared.

 

PAYMENT FOR UK BIDDERS: By Paypal, UK cheque, or postal order. 

 

POSTAGE UK BIDDERS:   If you require registered post - "sign for" - then this will be an extra £1.10 per package (UK purchasers only).

 

PAYMENT FOR OVERSEAS BIDDERS: By Paypal Only.  Sorry, but overseas (non UK) personal checks and International Money Orders are NOT accepted due to huge bank charges.

 

POSTAGE OVERSEAS BIDDERS:   Please note that Surface Mail is very slow (6 to 12 weeks).
