Last year, we upgraded our payment process to a more reliable service with increased security measures. One unintended consequence is that our payment form is no longer compatible on older web browsers (significantly Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which has now been superseded by Microsoft Edge).

In the event of payment issues at checkout, we recommend trying an alternative browser (i.e. Edge, Chrome or Firefox), or ensuring your current browser is kept up to date by completing the following:

Update Google Chrome: click on , then 'Settings', then 'About Chrome'

Update Safari: click on , then 'App Store', then 'Updates'

Update Firefox: Click on , then 'Help, then 'About Firefox'

Upgrade Internet Explorer: For Windows 10, we recommend upgrading to Microsoft Edge by visiting www.microsoft.com/edge.

• Prices exclude postage and packing
• Promotions apply to listed titles only, which are subject to change and availability
• We reserve the right to withdraw a promotion at any time
• On 3 for 2 promotions (and other multi-buy offers), the lowest priced title will always be the 'free' item If you choose to purchase a product from a multi-buy offer, but do not purchase enough products to qualify for the special discount, the product will be charged at the normal price

• Payment for your pre-order is only taken on the day of dispatch. If the price happens to be lower on that day than you initially paid, you’ll be debited the lower of the two
• This only applies up until the publication date and any further price reductions can not be applied retrospectively.

Items that are subject to VAT have the 20% rate reflected in their RRP. Books are not subject to VAT, however for items where partial or full 20% needs to be applied the VAT is included in the selling prices reflected on our website.

Full VAT items include;

• DVDs
• Games
• Other non-book products

The prices payable for goods are as set out in the website, inclusive of VAT where applicable (books are currently zero rated).

Customers ordering for delivery outside of the UK will be responsible for payment of any local taxes payable including VAT, and will be required to pay extra for delivery and clearance where necessary.
