Please note that we are an independent bookstore and require orders to be processed before the 14th of December to ensure in-store pick up on website deliveries. If you would like your order to be delivered outside of Lisbon please make your order as soon as possible, every holiday season couriers deal with an extraneous amount of orders and this generally causes issues with timely delivery, from both our distributors who use UPS and our own courier services DPD.&nbsp;
