Delivery and Shipping Information

For Books

Goods will be dispatched when payment has been received. Delivery will then be made via DHL and will require a signature upon delivery. Delivery times stated on our website are estimated for guidance only and we are unable to state a specific day or time when delivery will be made.

Please note that we are unable to fulfill any UK orders that require delivery to a P.O. Box address.

If you are outside of the UK and require a delivery to a PO Box address please provide a telephone number to avoid your order being declined or delayed.

For Journals

The completion of the delivery process for journal issues can take up to 4 weeks. Although Elsevier endeavours to deliver the journals well within this 4 week window, the use of local postal services can often influence delivery times and this should be taken into account before making claims.

For e-Books

After placing your e-Book order, we will email the e-Book activation code to you immediately.

PLEASE NOTE: For eBook purchases no print invoice will be provided. The digital version will be sent to the email address provided by the customer on which we had confirmed the order.

Delays in Shipping

Delays in shipping can be due to titles that are not yet available at the time of ordering and have been backordered due to the reasons listed below. In this situation your credit card will not be charged until the title is available for dispatch.

• Pre-orders/Not yet published - these titles have not been published and will be dispatched as soon as available. Please check our website for the due date.
• “Only to Order” titles are usually imported in from the USA if they aren’t in stock. Therefore delivery could take up to 6-8 weeks.
• “Print on Demand” titles may take 7-10 working days before becoming available for delivery.
