General Information:

Really Useful Resources is a publisher of the Really Useful Resources range of revision guides.  We are distributor of text books aimed at secondary school students.  While the revision guides are produced and dispatched from our Christchurch warehouse, we hold no stock of textbooks - they are ordered from the supplier once an order has been made. The majority of the textbooks are sourced from suppliers in Australia and therefore they are not available for immediate dispatch.  The average time for textbooks to arrive from Australia is approximately 7 working days.

Shipping in New Zealand is at cost.  We do ship to overseas addresses, so please contact us if you wish to order from an overseas address and we can provide you with a quote for various methods of shipping.

We ship by Courier so we can track your parcel.  Please note Rural Delivery incurs extra cost by courier delivery.

Orders for Really Useful Resources Revision Guides that we receive prior to 2.00 pm, will be dispatched the same day.  Orders received later may not go out until the next day.  You should allow 1-3 working days for your order to arrive.

The majority of the text books will arrive from Australia and the estimated delivery time from the suppliers is 7 working days (unless otherwise stated).  However there are times when the supplier is unable to supply the books to us within that timeframe and items are placed on backorder. 

Different Shipping Times:

If you order Really Useful Resources Revision Guides / Study Cards and textbooks, or several textbook titles with different delivery times, these may be despatched in two batches.  We always work to keep freight charges to a minimum.
