ORDERING FROM OUR WEBSITE
We offer direct sales and shipping to customers throughout the world, from our website (notes below on excluded countries, and customs/tax duties). If you are a bookshop and you wish to stock our books, please order through our Distribution channels.
Orders are submitted to the warehouse as soon as they are confirmed, and then take 2–3 business days to process prior to dispatch. If your order includes pre-ordered books that are not yet published, your whole order will be sent out once all the books are available. We have listed estimated delivery times below, but please note that we are not responsible for unforeseen delays related to local customs procedures or local issues affecting postal services.
If you have any questions about your order that aren't addressed in the information below, feel free to contact us at sales@silverpress.org. We kindly ask that you allow for our warehouse processing time (2–3 business days before dispatch) in addition to the estimated delivery time before reaching out to us. Please note that, as a small team, we’re only able to check and respond to emails 1–2 times per week.

A NOTE ON CUSTOMS CHARGES AND OTHER TAXES
Customers outside of the UK are responsible for paying any applicable import VAT and Duties. This will need to be paid before the courier can complete the delivery. Please look out for an email from your local customs office with more information.
Printed materials (including books) typically have either no or low import rates, however the customer is responsible for checking this for their own country.
USA: following an executive order put in place from 29 August 2025 (removing the long-standing de minimis exemption for shipments valued under $800), new customs charges are in place for all parcels sent to the United States. We have been advised that due to their commodity code, books are not as adversely affected as other products. However, responsibility for all import charges lies with the customer.
