Shipping

I’m a small Australian self-publishing author offering print on demand goods.

I’m not a multinational conglomerate like Amazon, so I can’t offer free shipping, or shipping with the same or next day delivery.

I hope you understand.

But, I don’t profit from postage and give you the choice of “live” shipping rates through major ecommerce logistics companies such as Australia Post, FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS, Canada Post, and Royal Mail.

This allows you to choose between the cheapest and fastest shipping according to your needs at the time of purchase, before you check out.

The cost is calculated with a combination of the weight of goods, your location, and the location of the manufacturing facility.

Shipping costs for books and merchandise are listed separately in your basket, and because we print on demand at separate factories, you will receive more than one package.

Please be aware the current global situation includes pandemics, war, climate events such as fires and floods, as well as plain old staff shortages. Thus production and shipping times cannot be guaranteed.

But, if your package tracking information has stalled for more than two weeks, please contact us at alex@alexandriablaelock.com.
