Processing of orders

Alchimia aim to ship all items during the next shipping day immediately following receipt of your order. Typically there is one shipping day in each working week (defined as Monday to Friday inclusive), however during busy periods we may ship on two days per working week. If the office is closed for more than one week at any time a notice will be prominently displayed at the home page of the Alchimia informing customers of this fact.
Your order may be delayed if the item is not in stock. Some items may be unavailable. We regret we are not able to supply dates when our suppliers may get an item in stock. We are pleased to be able to offer full order tracking facilities for customers. After you have placed an order, you will be able to check on its status by visiting the Alchimia Online Customer Area, either by clicking the link included in your email order confirmation, or by clicking the link at the top of the website’s home page. Please note that your order may be sent to you in instalments.
Credit and debit cards are immediately debited by PayPal on behalf of Alchimia when you place your order. This payment process is valid for all orders, including pre-orders. Books and magazines are zero-rated for Value Added Tax (VAT), however all other goods offered at this website are subject to VAT for all customers who are purchasing within the European Union. All prices for VAT-applicable goods are shown net of VAT, and the appropriate amount of VAT will be added at the point of sale. Customers ordering from outside the European Union are not required to pay VAT.
Shipments to your delivery address may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Any such additional charges to clear customs must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies vary widely from country to country so we advise that customers contact their local customs office for further information. Note that international shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
Our standard Returns Policy applies to all purchases from Alchimia.

Weight of goods and cost of delivery

The cost of delivery is determined according to the currently applicable rates charged by Royal Mail for the UK, and either Royal Mail Airmail or Surface Mail for customers outside the UK. The amount paid for shipping is determined in accordance with a weight-based system. Full details of Royal Mail’s shipping rates are shown at the Royal Mail website, which can be accessed via this link. Typical shipping times to addresses outside the UK are 4 to 10 days for Royal Mail Airmail and 2 to 6 weeks for Surface Mail. Each item for sale at this website has been allocated a weight, by reference to which the total weight of each order can be calculated for the purpose of determining the amount to be paid for delivery. The weights shown have been rounded up to the nearest 5g.
Services used for deliveries to addresses within the UK:
Royal Mail First Class or Second Class up to a package weight of 2000g. All packages above this weight are sent by UK Mail.
Services used for deliveries to address outside the UK:
All packages containing only books or magazines are sent by the Royal Mail Printed Papers Airmail or Surface Mail service.
All packages containing T-shirts, CDs or DVDs are sent by the Royal Mail Small Packet Airmail or Surface Mail service.
Alchimia levies a packaging charge of £1.25 (or equivalent in US Dollars or Euro) for each customer’s order. This charge is a flat rate per order placed, regardless of how many items are bought with a single payment.

Lost Mail

Occasionally items go astray during delivery to customers. We will of course send out replacement items if it becomes clear that items have been lost en route to a customer. However, we have found that more often than not, rather than being lost, items that do not arrive in a reasonable time are delayed in the mail, and do eventually arrive. Therefore we do not consider an item to be lost in the mail until the following time periods have elapsed:
UK 4 weeks.
Outside the UK 8 weeks.
