**Please note that surface mail orders are sent by sea not by air, so will take considerably longer to arrive: anything up to 3 months or longer. However, recent orders sent by sea have often arrived sooner than that. Kindly note that with surface mail orders, delays and non-arrivals of orders are at buyer's risk. As they are not tracked or signed for, there is naturally a slightly greater risk of packets being lost in shipment - although we are using a reputable carrier, Royal Mail for these, to try to keep any issues to a minimum.
Please note: the above shipping prices and estimated delivery timescales are subject to change at any time without notice, due to factors beyond my control. Also in certain circumstances a surcharge may very occasionally be levied by the shipping company for deliveries to particular areas within a country (eg to a remote part.) If an additional shipping charge should be applied to any order placed, I will contact the buyer to explain the situation. They can then either choose to pay the extra sum, or I will refund them in full the amount they have already paid and cancel the order.
For any other countries or areas which are not mentioned above, please contact me directly at enquiries@rivalsofthebeatles.com for availability and shipping charges.
Please note that in addition to your full address for delivery purposes, your order details must include your email address and phone number, so that the shipping company can contact you as required regarding delivery to you. Many thanks!
Are shipping charges proportionally cheaper if I buy more than one copy?

What about import duties and other taxes levied outside the UK, if any?
