When you order “Energy and Resource Efficiency without the tears“ it is printed just for you!
To further improve the environmental performance, transport is minimised as the book is shipped directly from the printer in the UK to you, avoiding any handling by IWIK or SustainSuccess. All the orders are shipped from the UK because to print them in the US and Australia for local customers (where the printers, LightningSource have facilities) would mean hugely complex local sales tax implications, beyond the resources of a small business like mine. However, it may well be the case that orders via other sellers, like Amazon.com or Booktopia.com, will have been printed in the US or Australia.
When your order is received, I will input it to LightiningSouce’s order system, entering your name and address as the delivery destination. This is called “drop shipping”.
The timing of an order depends on two aspects – the print time and the shipping method. These are selected in the “postage” option when you order a book. For example an option might be Rush Print, Premium Shipping. The timing of these for various destinations are set out in the table below.
