It is still business as usual at Valiant Wings Publishing. However, we are taking appropriate measures to minimise risk to recipients of our books and other products.

     So far mail continues to be collected, transported and delivered in the UK. The good news is that Royal Mail have resumed deliveries to most of the countries previously on suspension. However customers may still experience long delays, the length of these being down to air cargo capacity and how well local services are operating It is worth checking your own country’s postal service website to check on status for your postcode area. You can also check the Royal Mail website for updates https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5317/~/international-incident-bulletin
     We very strongly recommend that overseas customers, particularly those in Latin American countries, Canada, South Africa, and  Eastern Ukraine, use Tracked, Signed or Tracked & Signed services appropriate to your country during this time so that you can monitor progress with your purchases. Canada is experiencing severe delays owing to volume of mail and South Africa is still clearing mail backlogs from March. Spain is currently affected by capacity issues and quality of service will vary according to region.
     Thank you very much for continuing to buy our books. Please stay safe and healthy.
