Register or quick order

If you think you may become a regular customer you might like to register so you don't need to enter your details for each order. However, for a one-off purchase you may prefer to do a quick order (you will see this option as you process your order).

Currency and overseas customers

All prices are in Australian dollars; for overseas customers we deduct the Australian goods and services tax, so book prices will be 10 per cent less.

Payment methods

Please note that if you order over our website your credit card details are not seen by any of us and are not stored on our servers. They are processed by the highly secure eWay system.

So, while its easy and safe to pay by Visa, Mastercard or Amex, there are other ways you can pay.

You will see the other options for payment as you process your order.

Australian schools, libraries and other institutions: We are happy to invoice you if you contact us by phone, fax, mail or email with an official order and order number.

Our ABN: 90 069 868 426

Dispatch times and express post option

Indicative dispatch times are generally 7–10 days. This is the time it takes us to get our books from our supplier's warehouse. The express post option does not shorten this period; it only affects the time it takes for Australia Post to get the book from Canberra to where you live (about one-day shorter for Sydney customers and about three days for Perth customers).
