Shipping
We ship all orders via Royal Mail’s 'Tracked & Signed' service and DHL Express. Although not guaranteed, UK orders tend to take around 4 working days to arrive from date of shipment, while international orders require around 7 working days. If you require a special delivery method, please contact us at the bookshop before your purchase and we will endeavour to meet your requirements.
We aim to send out orders the same or the day after they are received but we are a small team in a busy store and this is not always possible. If you have an order that is urgent, please contact us at the shop or via the Shopify email system. 'Click & Collect' orders will generally be processed within one day and can be picked up from the Bookshop during our opening hours, upon notification from a staff member.
If we encounter any significant delays in sending your order out to you, we will contact you by email. At this point, you reserve the right to cancel your order, if subsequently inconvenient.
Due to the nature of our business, we receive substantial amounts of deliveries and subsequent packing materials. In light of suspending the lifespan of these materials and reducing unnecessary usage of materials in general, when sending out orders we tend to re-use bubble wrap which we have previously received within deliveries. We urge customers to re-use this if possible. However, it can easily be recycled at any 'film plastic' recycling point which are generally located at supermarkets and chemists. When re-using cardboard mailers is not possible, we use Noviawrap - a corrugated cardboard packing system.
We operate as a very small team here at the bookshop. At particularly busy times of year (Christmas, exhibition openings etc.), please allow a few extra days for your order to be fulfilled. Thanks!
Redirecting Shipping
If your order is sent with a DHL Express service, you will be contacted with the option to redirect your shipment. If you choose to divert your shipment to a new address, TPG Bookshop is no longer responsible over loss or damage to your order. This is the official DHL stance, which we have to adhere to.
