How To Save On Shipping and get Free Shipping

At Readmatter, the price shown for each shipping option includes both postage and packaging. We take pride in ensuring that your books arrive in the same excellent condition that they leave our shop, so we spend quite a bit on packaging. Although most courier companies that charge based on volumetric size, we offer a fixed courier rate, and any difference in cost is on us. This means that the more books you order, the better value you're getting on shipping as we are subsidising the courier costs. You can also get completely FREE Pudo delivery on orders of R549 and up, so you can save even more. Why pay for shipping when you can get more books instead?
