We offer you consistently low prices on our entire catalogue. All prices are listed in British Pound Sterling.
Items in your shopping cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item's product detail page. Please note that this price may differ from the price shown for the item when you first placed it in your cart. Placing an item in your cart does not reserve the price shown at that time. It is also possible that an item's price may decrease between the time you place it in your cart and the time you purchase it.
Some discounts are limited-time offers. Also, as the discount we are able to offer for any item is dependent upon its availability, Austin Macauley Publishers' price will necessarily change on occasions. With respect to items sold by Austin Macauley Publishers, we cannot confirm the price of an item until we receive your order.
Despite our best efforts, a small number of items in our catalogue may be mispriced. Rest assured that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the item. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will contact you to resolve this.
We may, on occasion, raise the prices of items. In the event that this occurs on an item in your shopping cart, you will be notified and given the chance to cancel your order if you so wish. We may, at our discretion, waive small price increases without passing them on to our customers.
If your order has been dispatched and the estimated delivery date has passed, we recommend that you ask your local postal sorting office if they've already tried to deliver it, or ask your neighbour if the package has been left with them.
You should also check that the delivery address you have given us is correct. Click the "View Order Details" button next to the order to view the delivery address.
If your order hasn't arrived after the estimated delivery date, please contact us and we'll do our best to locate it.
