Important information on shipping

We will soon begin dispatching Too Long: April 2025, including Standard and Premium editions.

We're currently aiming to dispatch all orders by 14 April 2025.

All Too Long: April 2025 orders are being sent tracked, if available in your country. You'll receive further updates on your tracking number as soon as a label is generated. Please keep an eye out for your tracking number as your local courier may require additional information to complete delivery.

Digital Editions will be fulfilled on 28 April 2025. This is just a fair-play strategy; we want to ensure that everyone receives the magazine at roughly the same time.

International orders
Orders going internationally can take a little longer. They can sometimes get delayed in customs. We advise keeping an eye on any tracking information that you have been provided with.

Parcels going to some countries (including but not limited to: Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Israel, South Africa) are occasionally taking in excess of 12 weeks to be delivered. Unfortunately we have no control over these parcels and how quickly they are passed through customs.

Customs & international import charges
VAT is due on all commercial goods imported into the EU regardless of their value. We are part of the IOSS which means that, for orders not exceeding €150, we collect the VAT for you and pay that to the relevant local tax authorities, meaning you don't have to pay it on delivery.

Shipments sent outside the UK to any other shipping destinations may also incur additional charges for customs clearance and these are payable by you, the customer. We have no control over these charges and are unable to reimburse any costs incurred regardless of the circumstances. For details of customs charges please consult your local customs authorities for the latest rates.
