Deliveries & Orders

We work to a lead time of 3-4 working days to get your order posted out, and Royal Mail aim to deliver orders within 2 working days of postage. We are a small, family run bookshop, meaning we don't have the time, storage space and manpower of the larger online giants at our disposal, which is why we take a little bit longer to post our orders out. We take care and pride in our books, to make sure they're sent out properly, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

All our books are sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48 Service. Smaller orders are wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and secured in a polythene mailing bag, and larger orders are packed in cardboard boxes and secured with shrink wrap for weather proofing. Your books are fully insured from the moment they leave us, for both yours and our peace of mind. 

We don't accept returns (just purely due to COVID at the moment!), and cancellation refunds can only be issued within 24 hours of order if you change your mind. 

Also, we know that sometimes orders get lost in the post/damaged in transit and we agree that there's NOTHING worse than damaged book mail. So if you do find there's a problem with your order, please contact us at fosterslittlebookshop@gmail.com and we'll get it sorted for you, either with a refund or replacement order.
