Transaction Charges

We charge for each photocopied document supplied. Our charges consist of a flat, "all-inclusive", fee per service type:
•  irrespective of length of item*,
•  irrespective of method of delivery,
•  irrespective of destination,
•  and inclusive of any copyright fee payable

  • Standard Service : £21.00 per item
    • Order before 12 noon, dispatched later the same day**
  • Express Service : £41.00 per item
    • Dispatched in under 60 minutes

*An item =
• A single law report
• A single journal article
• Up to 20 pages from a book
• A single piece of original legislation

For example, a 20-page chapter counts as one item, whereas a 40-page chapter counts as two items.

Items will normally be dispatched by email (dispatch by fax, courier or post available on request).

Transaction charges are billed at the beginning of the following month and exclude VAT where applicable.

** It is not possible to give an exact time as this depends on our current workload which can change at any time. Standard Service orders received before 12 noon will be dispatched later the same day and, in any event, before close of business. Standard Service orders received after 12 noon will be dispatched the next working day.
