Consolidated shipping overview
A quick introduction
Consolidated shipping enables you to receive discounted shipping and handling when ordering from our independent sellers and shipping to U.K. or European addresses. The first item you order from an independent seller is charged a standard shipping rate, but each additional item you purchase from that seller in that same order is shipped at a discounted rate. In addition, all of the items are usually shipped together in the same package by the seller.
If you purchase items from more than one seller, you will be charged the standard rate for the first item ordered from each seller. Shipping discounts are applied for all additional items ordered from each independent seller.
Find items from a single seller
Consolidated shipping applies to books, music, and movie selections shipping to U.K. or European addresses. Merely search our site for your first item. Once you've located the item you want to purchase, click the Add to Basket button. Then you need at least one more item from the same seller to qualify for consolidated shipping. You can click the name of the seller to access their online seller store. Then use the search fields provided to search their inventory for other items that interest you. Once you find another item, add it to your basket, where consolidated shipping will automatically be calculated. Please note that if you order a combination of books and either music or movies, you will be charged the first item rate for the book, and the additional item rate for any other books, movies, or music items in your order. The shipping rates are lower for music and movies.
