Shipping in Te Whanganui-a-Tara
We've previously offered free shipping in Te Whanganui-a-Tara as we used to hand deliver a lot of the books. We no longer have the ability to do this and it's become unsustainable for us to cover this cost.
We've had to remove the free shipping option, but if this makes it difficult for you, flick us a message and we'll work something out x
