6. Do you Ship Internationally and How Much Does it Cost?
International shipping is standard as our publishers are in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It costs USD $149 per insured, global priority mail handbook ~ <4 kg weight which represents the current average handbook volume in two parts. The courier shipping and replacement insurance costs per Handbook volume will not exceed USD $149 for postal weights up to <4 Kg. Handbooks sets >4 Kg are set at $149 per set and for Asian countries at $169 per set. Certain countries (e.g. Bangladesh & others) must provide EU, USA or Canadian alternative address.

LIG will process your purchases, free of any country salestax / GST / VAT / local or any custom taxes etc. from our publishers in either the Asia, Africa, EU, UK, IOM, SINGAPORE, SWITZERLAND, USA, RSA, Israel or Ireland.

Your receipt will reflect the actual air shipping cost at the time of weighing and air shipping to the different postal zones. Please note that shipping and insurance estimations may change marginally from time to time, as postal rates change and increase, and may differ from the initial e-mail quotation.

All shipping is priority EMS post, first class air mail - and the parcel is insured for a 100% replacement, if lost or damaged.

Note: We will provide you with an exact EMS courier quote from EMS/UPS/DHL/FEDEX before shipping items, door-to-door for expedited courier orders. EMS Priority Global Express Mail is the MOST cost effective and usually FASTEST shipping service recommended by LIG. All other couriers are more costly.

7. What is LIG Credit/Return/Exchange policy?
All handbooks in perfect, unopened, resaleable condition (in the original shipping material and copyright band intact), ordered in error due to a shipping error, can be canceled, within 10 days of placing the initial handbook order for a prorate refund, less costs. Locum ships on contractual invoices which are final and binding. Wire payments on invoices are final, nonrefundable and nonnegotiable. There are no-exceptions. As all parcels are insured the insurance aspects determine any and all claims,thus this insurance process may be lengthy and time-consuming.

If you intend to return an unopened, unused handbook that meets ALL our return conditions, you must first contact us for return and shipping instructions and authorization codes. Locum Group Council decisions are final and absolute and nonnegotiable. One book volume set orders are treated as casual and are of low priority. Such orders cannot be returned under any circumstances.

We will pass a credit only less shipping, insurance and handling charges once the returns are accepted, inspected and processed (it takes about 8-24 weeks). When an entire set or sets of the 24 / 33 Handbook volumes series is printed-on-demand (POD) then no returns are permitted and no claims are processed. Cancellations or order changes accruing during shipping in process, transit or while shipped in transit via bonded warehouses would generate and require additional reshipping, reinsurance and appropriate warehouse demurrage charges. Where our copyright seals are broken, no credit under any circumstances can be advanced and the books are considered read and second hand and cannot be resold as photocopying or damage could have occurred. Copyright seals removed damaged or torn indicate potential photocopying or damage. No client wants to buy a second hand book and Locum are extremely strict on this matter.

Where buyers have advanced claims to be agents or resale's and have received agency discounts of 5 -10% such discount shall be refunded back to LOCUM INTERNATIONAL LLC in full together with the $3.00 (USA) day fee from date of original invoice. International Journal and Handbook Purchasers who refuse invoiced copyright payment(s) or are found at a later time and place, to not be approved agents shall pay forthright the copyright invoiced fee (min. USD $500) and be debited with the agency discount where they are not approved agents. Any other changes or price increases including shipping, expired invoices and such like shall immediately apply.

8. All handbooks have security UV codes and light sensitive ink that guard against unauthorized photocopying. Unfortunately, no opened or used handbooks & Journals or computer CD dataware can be returned (IAGIM and USA copyright protection laws).
