Shipping Information

Royal Mail Tracked Shipping

Every book ordered from charlesmackaybooks.com ships from Glasgow, Scotland by Royal Mail Tracked services. Postage is calculated at checkout based on your delivery destination. The exact amount is shown before you pay. All orders are packed and dispatched personally by Charles E. MacKay.

Postage by Destination

Indicative rates for a single hardcover book (~600g). Multi-book orders use the same zone rate up to 750g; heavier orders are quoted at checkout.

Import Duty & VAT (international orders)

A Mackay (Publisher) Ltd is not VAT registered and does not collect VAT at checkout. Customers outside the United Kingdom may be liable for import duty, sales tax, or local VAT collected by their courier or national postal service on delivery. Where applicable, these charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

Packaging & Tracking

All books are packaged in sturdy cardboard mailers; multi-book orders are bundled securely together. Every order ships with a Royal Mail tracking number. UK Tracked 48 and International Tracked both include end-to-end delivery confirmation. Tracking details are sent by email once your order is dispatched (usually within 1 to 2 working days of payment).
