Our site is designed to make your online experience easy! Our online ordering system is secure, managed by Opayo (formerly known as Sage Pay), and we accept debit cards and all major credit cards (except American Express and Diner's Card). We are also able to take payment by Paypal. This option will appear on the payment categories when you checkout and you will then be taken to the Paypal payment page.
Alternatively you can telephone your order through to 07442 960606 Monday to Friday 10am-5pm, or send a cheque through the post with details of the books you wish to buy (don't forget to add post and packing of £4.50 per order if you are ordering from within the UK, and the appropriate postage amounts if you are ordering from elsewhere). Please allow additional time for delivery if your order is made by cheque and post.
Our postal address is: Medlar Press, PO Box 30, Fishguard, SA65 0AR
When online shopping with the Medlar Press, we use Opayo (formerly known as Sage Pay), ensuring that your card details are securely encrypted during transport over the Internet so no one can read your card information. The card details are only sent directly to a Bank to authorise your purchase. Your card details are not visible to the Medlar Press, nor are they held on our systems.
If you have problems with ordering online please don't hesitate to contact us by email at sales@medlarpress.com (please write ‘PROBLEMS ORDERING’ in the subject line) or by phone on 07442 960606. We will try to resolve the problem or can take your order by phone, whichever you prefer. Please note that our secure payment pages operate from Opayo and Paypal and are then redirected back to the Medlar Press website.

Please note that delivery times are estimated and that postal charges have increased substantially over the last few years.
Delivery times are approximately as follows (with international orders being sent by tracked airmail post):
UK - five to seven working days
EU - one to four weeks
Europe - (non EU) two to five weeks
North America and Canada - between one and five weeks
Rest of world - one to six weeks
If for any reason, the book you have ordered is not in stock, despite being listed as such online, we will contact you as soon as possible to advise you of this and will offer a refund or transfer to another item.
For customers in the UK a charge of £4.50 is made for postage and packing for each order. Overseas postage will be sent by tracked airmail post. If you are ordering from overseas, the required postage supplement will be added to the price of the book. The postage price for non-UK customers will be calculated on weight (you will see the postage element for your order during checkout). Some exceptionally large or heavy titles may incur an additional postage charge; this will be mentioned on the page for the relevant book.
Urgent Delivery
If you require a book urgently please call our office on 07442 960606 (we can normally offer a Special Delivery option in the UK for an additional charge, dependent on weight).
Local import taxes and VAT may be payable on overseas orders and are now being charged by some EU countries. For customers not in the UK, please check the tax and VAT policies for your particular country before ordering. You are likely to be charged a percentage based on the total value - the cost of the goods, plus the cost of the postage - and this charge will be made by your local customs office or postal service before you can receive the goods.
Please note these prices are as of November 2023 and may be altered to reflect increases in postal charges to us.
