Posting your purchase

Note: if the book needs to be ordered in, then posting of an order will not start until any ordered in item has been received by us.

Shipping and Posting

We ship via Australia Post within Australia and via SkippyPost overseas

Posting within Australia

We post items either through Australia Post as a standard parcel, or as Express Post. Neither option includes insurance, however Express Post is tracked. We have posted several thousand items through Australia Post over the last couple of years - most via Standard Post - and loss of anything in the mail is very very rare.

We also offer to some postcodes Courier via Fastway (if your postcode has that option it will show in checkout). Courier includes insurance. Courier is not as fast as Express Post. Courier is via road (not air), but most places receive it in 2-3 days.

As well we offer Registered Post. Registered Post is insured and travels at the same speed as Standard Australia Post parcels.

How long does it take to get in Australia?

If we have the books in stock, we generally post the same day (week days). If we have to order books in, as soon as we have all the books in your order we will post them out.

Express Post - Next Day delivery (when ordered on a business day, if ordered Friday - then the following Monday)

Australia Post Standard

Australia Post Standard mail is generally reliable. However why the majority of parcels get there on time there will always be the odd exception that takes 6 days to cross from one side of Adelaide to the other, or takes ten days to get to Newcastle.

Posting to New Zealand and Worldwide

We post to New Zealand, United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe via Skippy Post. These are sent Economy Airmail, and postage costs are very reasonable. Normal postage transit times are:

UK and Europe: 14 -24 days

USA and Canada : 14 - 21 days

Asia (Japan, China etc) 21-24 days

If you want it faster we can send it Australia Post Airmail - at a higher cost. email us at scifi.australia@gmail.com, can we can give you a cost, or alternatively we can post it Express Courier International which can be as fast as 4 days (depends on the destination country).
