Delivery conditions

Delivery conditions

Prices, tax and customs duties:

The prices of books, as it is included in Article 9 of the Law 10/2007, 22nd June, on Reading, Books and Libraries, are fixed by the editors. Prices might exceptionally suffer small variations without previous notice, but always explained by the editor through a communication. The prices of books as well as videos and magazines on the catalogue in our web page have the VAT included. Deliveries to the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and out of the country will no include VAT as they do not have the obligation to pay it.

EDICIONES ASIMÉTRICAS directly imports the foreign books included in the catalogue. In these cases, apart from modifications due to the editor, fluctuations in the origin currency, delivery costs and so on, might cause variations in the final price of a book out of stock. The client will always be informed of these variations before confirming the order.

EDICIONES ASIMÉTRICAS will not bear the tax, custom duties and tariffs expenses distinctive of each country. The client will bear this cost and pay in cash when receiving the goods.

 

Delivery costs, methods of payment and delivery periods: Orders bound for Spain and Portugal:

EDICIONES ASIMÉTRICAS normally uses the services of Courier Companies for deliveries. We select the best available offer for each case, counting on reliable companies that, with the most economical prices offer the best conditions, excellent delivery periods and the possibility of knowing the state of the delivery.

However, if the client wanted the delivery exceptionally sent to a PO box, we will then use the Post Office services (Blue parcel modality), and the payment must be done with VISA card. The delivery expenses will be the same as the Courier Company.

  • Payment with VISA CREDIT CARD, Mastercard: To make the payment we will request the card’s number, expiration date and security code. We guarantee the safety of this information through approved SSL encrypting protocols. Remember that all the information you sent through this form will be protected by the encrypting system Secure Socket Layer. This system encrypts data in such a way that if another person gets hold of this data, he will not be able to read it because he does not have the necessary password. We do not keep information about the card.
