All items sent to EU addresses are despatched within 24 hours Monday to Friday, and posted via the Royal Mail 'International Tracked' service, or Royal Mail 'Tracked and Signed for' for items over £100. Delivery times will vary.

Every item is wrapped in acid-free tissue and, for booklets and ephemera, a conservation-grade polyester archival pocket. Items are then double- or triple-packaged in rigid, fully-recyclable cardboard book wraps.
Returns
Skylona sells used, pre-owned items and therefore every item is imperfect and typically will show signs of wear. We take great care to accurately describe and photograph items, highlighting specific areas of damage or wear.

In rare instances where packages are damaged in transit, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee, where the full purchase price including original postage charges (if any) will be refunded when the item is returned to us safely.
Customers are responsible for the cost of posting the item back to Skylona in the original packaging, or equivalent protective packaging.
