Exceptions

High value items

The British Pharmacopoeia has a set carriage option of £15 to anywhere in the UK, £60 to anywhere in Europe, £100 to the rest of the world (these are high value items so must be sent recorded and tracked).
Where products are added to the shopping basket with different specified standard carriage and handling rates the higher rate will be charged.

Delivery to Russia and Belarus

The British Pharmacopoeia is the only product delivered to Russia and Belarus. UPS deliveries to these countries can only be completed where the address includes a company name.

When will I receive my order?

If the publication is in stock at time of ordering it will be dispatched within 24 hours. If you place your order after 12 noon on a Friday (or after 12 noon on the day before a Bank Holiday) your order will be dispatched the next working day. The total delivery time is equal to the sum of availability of the title and dispatch time, e.g. if availability is 2-3 days and dispatch time 1 day, the total delivery time will be 3-4 working days.

If after the expected delivery time you have not received your order, please contact our eSupport Customer Service Team, email: esupport@tso.co.uk or telephone: +44 (0)333 200 2425.

All goods lost in transit will also be replaced at no extra cost if notification is received by TSO, by telephone or writing, within 28 days of the date the original order was received by TSO or the date of publication of the goods, whichever shall be later.

Please note that any orders for non-TSO publications not fulfilled within 90 days will automatically be cancelled. You will be notified by email in this instance.

How can I track my order?

If you selected DPD Next Day or DPD Two Day as your delivery method then it is possible to track your order. As soon as your order is dispatched by DPD you can view your tracking number in the 'Your Account' section of TSO Shop. Simply select 'order status' and there should be a link to the details of your parcel on the DPD site: www.dpd.co.uk/. If the link doesn't immediately work you may need to copy it and paste it into a new browser.

Please note that there may be a slight delay between customers having access to their tracking number and DPD updating their site with tracking details.

Please also note: out of the international special delivery options listed above, only UPS International is a tracked service.

Grouping your items for delivery

Some of the items in your order may be available before others. When this happens we will send you the available titles as soon as possible and dispatch the remaining publications as soon as we receive them in our warehouse. We will only charge you for carriage and handling on the first delivery. All other packages from the same order will be delivered free of charge.

Changing your delivery option

At the foot of your shopping basket screen click on the drop-down list entitled 'Change your carriage type', make your selection, then click Update. The carriage option you have chosen will now be displayed next to each TSO item in your shopping basket. Please note: a different delivery option cannot be requested after an order has been confirmed.

VAT on delivery

If an item in your shopping basket attracts VAT, your carriage and handling charge will also be subject to VAT. Special delivery options are also subject to VAT.

EU VAT changes are effective from 1 July 2021

• From 1 July 2021, all commercial goods imported into the EU will be subject to VAT. The current VAT exemption for importation of goods up to 22 Euros will be removed.
• This means the recipient of the goods MUST pay VAT at the rate charged in the country of delivery

Please note that most shipments valued under 150 Euros are not subject to Customs duties on arrival in the EU. This is separate to VAT and will continue to apply post 1 July 2021.

Subscriptions delivery

All subscription orders, with the exception of online subscriptions, are dispatched by standard surface mail with free delivery.
