When will I receive my order?

If the publication is in stock at time of ordering it will be dispatched within 24 hours. If you place your order after 12 noon on a Friday (or after 12 noon on the day before a Bank Holiday) your order will be dispatched the next working day. The total delivery time is equal to the sum of availability of the title and dispatch time, e.g. if availability is 2-3 days and dispatch time 1 day, the total delivery time will be 3-4 working days.

If after the expected delivery time you have not received your order, please contact our Customer Service Team, email: hseorders@tso.co.uk or telephone: +44 (0)333 202 5070.

All goods lost in transit will also be replaced at no extra cost if notification is received by telephone or writing, within 28 days of the date the original order was received, or the date of publication of the goods, whichever shall be later.

How can I track my order?

If you selected DPD Next Day or DPD Two Day as your delivery method then it is possible to track your order. As soon as your order is dispatched by DPD you can view your tracking number in the 'Your Account' section of the HSE Books shop. Simply select 'order status' and there should be a link to the details of your parcel on the DPD site: www.dpd.co.uk/ (opens in new window)link opens in a new window.
