FAQ

Our orders are shipped from our US warehouse in Pennsylvania as standard.

With one exception: our rare books and Special Editions are processed from our London studio as standard. If you have any queries regarding shipping, please email support@mackbooks.co.uk.

 

Placing an order

Your order confirmation
• Once you have placed an order, you will receive an automated confirmation email detailing the items you have ordered. 
• If we establish that availability of any title ordered is not as stated on the website, you will be notified directly, and your card will be refunded for that portion of the order.

Our retail price and currency
• We are only able to take payment in USD for orders shipping to addresses within the US.
• We list the price of each book in multiple currencies as an indication of the recommended retail price for other retailers.
• The calculation of the price in the three different currencies is based on a significant number of variables, not just the exchange rate at the date of setting the retail price. Market fluctuations may further impact the differential between the multiple currencies.
• We are not able to make any special accommodation for this differential or any fluctuations.
• Your bank or card issuer may impose additional charges for a payment taken in USD and these must be borne by you.

Taxes and customs

Order shipped from our London studio may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied once the goods reach the destination. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. We have no control over import duties and taxes and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. Please contact your local customs office for further information.

For orders shipping to an address in New York State, a sales tax of 8.875% will be automatically applied to the value of books ordered.
