DELIVERY OPTIONS WITHIN THE UK
All orders in the UK are sent via Royal Mail Standard First Class service unless you select Courier Shiping at checkout. Orders which qualify for free shipping (are over £100*) will be sent via Courier.
(*Exceptions may apply)
INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY
All international orders are sent via Courier.
International customers may be charged additional duties and import taxes before they receive their shipments. We strongly advise customers ordering outside of the UK to track their packages daily and keep an eye out for notifications from the courier regarding paying the customs fees. If a parcel is returned to us because it didn’t clear customs, the reshipment will be at the cost of the customer. If a parcel is returned to us because it didn’t clear customs, and the customer would like a refund, a refund will be issued against the goods bought, the shipping costs will not be reimbursed.
POSTAGE COSTS
We try to keep our postage as affordable as possible and are constantly reviewing our options. Some of the items we retail are particularly large or heavy, and unfortunately the postage costs have to reflect this.
Shipping costs are calculated volumetrically, whereby weight and size are factors in the price. The postage often works out better value when you order multiple items.
If you have any specific questions regarding shipping please get in touch via: hello@unitom.co.uk

We do offer a click and collect service, just select ‘Pick Up’ at checkout. You will receive an email confirmation when your order is ready for collection and can be collected during our usual opening times. Please bring your order number/confirmation with you.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a subscription service on specific titles at this time. We rely on a network of distributors and suppliers ourselves, titles often change distribution or even cease publication, so we cannot guarantee even our own continued supply.
We may be able to provide tailored regular shipments to your home, office or place of work. Please email us with your specific needs via: hello@unitom.co.uk
