The following guidelines apply to Australian deliveries from time of despatch from our Sydney based warehouse:

We endeavour to hold stock of all listed titles at our warehouse in Sydney and despatch within 24 hours of receiving your order. These books are classified as "Plenty of stock" or "limited stock" when you identify them and before you purchase them.

The availability figures on the web-site are updated every fifteen minutes so it is only in unusual circumstances that we cannot immediately fulfil an order of a title marked as "Plenty of stock."

We place orders with Microsoft ® Press in the US on a weekly basis and aim to always be in stock. It is generally only unpredictable or low volume titles that out of stock and they are marked "Allow 2-5 weeks for delivery." This happens as soon as a title goes out of stock, and that information is displayed prominently before you purchase the book.

We process orders for these titles in the sequence we receive them. Your book will be despatched within 24 hours of it being received into our warehouse.

Occasionally we receive a few orders over a short time for a title of which we only hold limited stock. When this happens we may have to delay your order until new stock arrives. We will notify you by email in those circumstances so you can decide if you would like to wait for or cancel your order. If a title was in stock when you ordered it and is then delayed, we will gladly refund your money and cancel the order.

To find out where your order is at any time please email custservice@mspress.com.au and they will let you know the expected delivery date of your order.
