Q&A
Q. When will the orders be mailed out?
A. The original delivery date was 24 November, but printing has gone very smoothly and yesterday I heard the good news that the books will be delivered this Friday, 13 November. We'll get to work packing and mailing your orders as soon as the books arrive.
Q. So will they arrive in time for Christmas?
A.1 All Hong Kong orders will arrive before Christmas.
A.2 Most Overseas orders will arrive before Christmas. Though airmail was suspended for a while due to COVID-19, it has been restored to most countries, including Australia, UK, and USA. You can check if airmail is available to your country in the latest "Types of services currently available to overseas destinations" document on the Hongkong Post website.
For countries where airmail services are still suspended, e.g. Canada or New Zealand, your order will be sent by surface mail, typically taking 7-10 weeks to arrive.
Q. How can I add the other Volumes to my order?
A. Please click any of the links below to add earlier volumes to your order:
- Add a copy of Volume 1 to the order
- Add a copy of Volume 2 to the order
- Add a copy of Volume 3 to the order
