Shipping & Tariffs
Shipping Information
Every order is fulfilled directly from A.P HQ, where A.P personally signs each book before it's carefully packed and sent out by the team.
Your order will be dispatched within 5 working days if you're in the UK, or 7-14 working days for international destinations.
Tracking is included with all shipments. If your tracking hasn't updated in over a week, get in touch and we'll follow up with our courier partner to find out what's happening.
We deliver to nearly every corner of the globe. If your country isn't showing up at checkout, reach out and we'll work on getting it added.
Taxes & VAT
A.P Beswick Publications ships internationally from the UK. We don't handle VAT or import duties—those are managed by your local customs and paid directly to your delivery provider when your parcel arrives.
Whether you'll be charged depends entirely on where you live and your country's import rules. Books often get preferential treatment, but not everywhere. If you're concerned, it's worth checking your local customs guidelines before ordering.
Important: If your parcel gets sent back because of unpaid customs fees or a missed delivery, we're happy to issue a refund for the books—but we can't refund shipping costs, as those have already been paid to the courier.
US Tariff Information
For our US readers, you're likely aware of the tariff changes introduced in August 2025. We've been working to understand how these affect your orders from A.P Beswick Publications.
Here's what you need to know:
Books shipped from the UK are exempt from standard import fees, but a 10% reciprocal tariff now applies to each item based on its country of origin.
Merchandise, prints, and other non-book items will incur additional tariff costs, along with a customs processing fee.
On average, expect to pay an additional $1–$3 per item when your order arrives.
You'll receive an email directly from Mark 3 requesting payment, they are working in partnership with DPD who we use as our courier. Your parcel won't be released for delivery until this charge is settled, so watch for that notification. For this reason please provide a valid email and contact number at checkout.
