What is a pre-order?

A pre-order is the ability to purchase and item before it’s
been released on the general market. Essentially you're buying an out of stock item. Book release dates are often announced months ahead of them being available in the shops, which allows you to purchase the book ready for it’s release day.  

Placing a pre-order

Pre-orders are placed and paid for in the same way as normal orders. The only difference is when you receive your delivery. As the books are not available at the time of ordering your order will not be processed in line with our deliveries policy. You order will be safely held until the books release date, and dispatched to you on or after that that date (depending on the legal embargoes for each book).

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes, you can change or cancel your order within ‘My Account’ providing the order has not been fulfilled. If you have any problems, you can always email us and we will assist you with the changes needed.

What happens on delivery day?

They will be delivered to the address on our order.  The chances are you will have forgotten all about the wonderful books waiting to be dispatched to you on release day, but we all know book mail is the best mail. And surprise book mail is even better!
