Books from "non-traditional" sources, eg: Myanmar, Vietnam, or Indonesia may take longer.

5. Shipping
and handling costs:
Purchaser bears outward shipping and handling costs. Our postage charges are based on actual
weight-based rates as levied by Singapore Post and its agents. Singapore Post charges on a half-kilogram basis where all weights
are rounded up to the next half-kilogram (i.e. the charge for a total packaged weight of 1.1kg will be the same as for 1.5kg). Handling costs will be $5.00 per order or 10% of total of book order, whichever is higher.
Due to the slowness of surface mail, we are offering only airmail shipment. If you wish
to use surface mail, please indicate in your remarks or email
us and we can calculate the charges for you. We also encourage customers to use courier service to
destinations where mail delivery is unreliable. We reserve the right to quote a higher fee for
courier service, but we will email you to indicate that this service is available.
6. Returns/Refunds/Exchange/Claims policy
