Register your school, university or business as a Books2Africa Drop-off Point and enable people in your community to start readcycling. You’ll need an accessible space (ideally in/around the parking lot) for a Books2Africa 20ft Container to be located on your premises. You’ll then choose what days and times of the week you want available for donors in your area to book appointments and drop-off their boxes of donated items inside the container. You’ll get notified by email every time someone books an appointment so you can grant them access on arrival. You can also put your own boxes of donated items inside the container without charge. When the container is full, contact us to arrange a free collection to empty it out. We’ll also keep a record and inform you of how many items were readcycled at your drop-off point.

If you cannot find a Books2Africa Drop-off Point near you, you can either schedule to drop-off at a DPD Drop-off Point instead or Arrange a collection. We use couriers to collect boxes of donated items from any UK address within 48 hours.
We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.
If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it.
The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.
Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.
Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.
Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.
However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
