Do I need a trade account?

Yes. You may browse the catalogue without an account, but you must be approved before you can add titles to a quote or cart, request wholesale pricing, send an enquiry, arrange payment or place an order.

What is the minimum order?

Case quantities vary by title. You can start with one full case of a book, while delivery pricing and any overall opening-order minimum are confirmed with your quote.

Are the prices final?

Prices on the catalogue are indicative trade prices per book excluding VAT. Stock, final pricing, VAT and delivery are confirmed before you make payment.

Can I mix different titles?

Yes. Once your trade account is approved, you can combine cases across categories to create a balanced range for your customers.

Do you deliver throughout the UK?

Yes. We use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and DPD for tracked UK deliveries. Any additional charges for Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are confirmed before the order is finalised.

How do I pay?

Approved trade customers can pay by PayPal or by debit or credit card through Stripe. Eligible businesses may also be offered account credit, subject to a separate credit review and agreed payment terms. Payment is arranged only after stock, quantities, delivery and the final quote have been confirmed.
