IMPORTANT NOTES-
We operate 3 world zones: UK, EC Europe and all other countries - prices detailed below. Electronic texts are sent free by
E-mail.
To find the price of any book, use the book
details page accessed from the book list
page.
If you already know what you want and the
total price, you can miss 'payment methods' and 'prices' sections and jump
straight to how to order at the bottom of this
page.payment methods by
post - prices and calculation below
On-line credit
card trading is available through the 'on-line shop' and is one of the
safest ways to buy with our high security system. Not only that,
calculations are done for you inside the on-line shop and conversion from
foreign currency can be ignored by the purchaser.
Otherwise use mail
order as below -UK mail order (Great Britain only) - cash or
UK bank cheques made payable to Inter-Read (not Infinity
Junction) can be sent to the mail order address given at the bottom of
this page.
Mail order for other countries, use the mail order
address given at the bottom of this page -
1) Cash payment (real
money:) - responsibility for loss of cash in transit is NOT ours -
the only currencies other than UK pounds acceptable at present are EC euros and
US dollars. Add £UK1 per order (not per book) to cover the
exorbitant exchange charges made against us for smaller sums (including
euros.) NO foreign coins can be accepted at all and NO note
denominations worth less than $US10 or 10 euros. (More detail below.)
Note- total cash sums should be rounded-UP to the nearest whole
acceptable denomination equivalent to the price in UK pounds plus the
£UK1 exchange charge, (plus postage, packing etc unless irrelevant-
see below and individual book details for further information.) See examples page - link below.
2) At present it is not economical for us to accept cheques (checks
US) from non-UK bank branches unless for large sums of money (£UK250
or more,) and incurring a few weeks delay. If you use any other currency, it
is cheapest and easiest to use on-line ordering as currency conversion is
automatic and done at standard bank rates, not premium 'bureau de change'
rates. Retailers taking advantage of our bulk purchase discount scheme also
have the option of electronic money transfer direct from bank to bank. Those
who want to reserve a copy of a limited time special offer but cannot use
the on-line system, e-mail sales@InfinityJunction.com. If
desperate, send cash (notes only) in euro notes, or US dollar notes - (US$10
minimum note denomination, or 10 euros;) but please realize that cash is not
particularly recommended due to the possibility of loss in transit to us -
responsibility for loss in transit from you is NOT ours. (It may also be
illegal to send cash by post in some countries.)
3) An alternative
which will cost you more, is to have your own bank make a bankers' order
in UK pounds payable to Inter-Read - (Not Infinity Junction.) (You
may need our bank sorting code, if so e-mail or write to us, explaining why you need the
sort-code and what you want to order, at the link above.) Bankers' orders
make more economic sense if more than one book is purchased at the same
time, as most banks make a significant fixed charge for any one order.

For international money exchange rates, find the latest good
quality 'national' or 'international' newspaper and look in the financial
pages for exchange rates, or ask your bank for money exchange rates into
pounds sterling (UK), or see your local exchange
bureau.On-line ordering with your credit card is
generally much easier. Tell me
how to shop on-line please.There are 5 simple steps in the
costing process-

3 - If paying by cash
(banknotes) in EC euros or US dollars, add UK £1 per order,
(not per book,) to the above costs to cover exchange
costs.
4 - Next, if not using UK pounds, add together all costs relevant to
your order and convert into US$ or EC euros; nothing else is acceptable at
present. 5 - Then round-up to the nearest whole
negotiable denomination of EC/US bank note - No less than US$10 or EC 10
euros. Note - if you've done it right, the amount in
non-UK currencies will be a larger number of dollars, or whatever, than
English pounds - if the number is smaller, you've probably done the
conversion back-to-front! Okay? It isn't complicated,
but if you have a problem, here's 2 ways to get help before you send
anything to us (address below)-

how to order
If you are ordering standard weight books (categories A and B - less
than 350 grams each) for 2nd class postal delivery
inside the UK, or electronic text via E-mail anywhere, (only available for some books,)
paying in UK cash or with UK bank cheque, simply use the price quoted in the individual book details
- (accessed via the book list or displayed on the special
feature page in some cases.)
If not, calculate cost
as above and in the examples. Enclose correct payment; if cash,
disguise it inside your letter etc to stop it being seen by anyone handling
the envelope.If paying by UK bank cheque, or bankers order in UK pounds
make it payable to Inter-Read (not Infinity
Junction) and cross the cheque 'AC Payee.'Write on paper
exactly what you want, along with- the full
postal address to send it to, including country if not in
UK, an e-mail address where you can be
contacted about any possible problem (if you have one.)

Delivery
time depends on payment method, how long your order takes to reach us
and, for printed matter, the type of postage and where you live. Despatch of
on-line orders and UK cash-with-orders is often on the same day when
received early enough and if not, usually within 2 days, (excluding weekends
and public holidays.) If we know of any unusual delay we will e-mail you.
Larger UK cheques and all bankers orders in UK pounds have to clear first
and the time varies with different banks, typically 1 to 3 weeks but
occasionally more: despatch will normally be within 2 working days of
clearing.
2nd class mail inside the UK usually takes
between 3 and 5 working days from posting to delivery, but can occasionally
be longer. Inside Europe surface mail times vary but should be within about
3 weeks except at major holiday periods when it can be longer. Beyond EC
Europe times are very variable and can take 6 weeks or more to North
America, or 8-10 weeks to Australasia, but again can occasionally be longer.
A few of our books are dispatched from
overseas, European customers should be aware that books from Australia for
example are subject to similar delays that Australian customers will
experience with UK based stocks.
