Each book page on our website tells you when a book will be shipped to you. The time depends on whether we have the book in stock and, if we do not, how quickly we can obtain copies:

1. Immediate
If we have a book in stock, we aim but cannot guarantee to ship your book the same day your order is received, unless your order is placed after 4pm GMT, in which case it will be shipped on the next working day.

2. Within [specified number] of Days
If we do not have a book in stock, the book page will display an estimate of the number of days until we are able to ship it. Sometimes we will be able to ship before this date; sometimes, the shipment date may be after the date. But it will usually be close.
