Shipping information

All orders are delivered by Federal Express.
All dictionary orders within Australia qualify for free shipping. Delivery time depends on the destination: normally it takes 3-4 business days.

If you order accessories without a dictionary, the standard shipping rate will be charged.

If your order is to be shipped to another country, you will be charged according to international shipping rates. Overseas customers are responsible for paying import duties (if applicable) on all purchased products.

The software available on our site is downloadable and is not for sale on CD and/or other media. Before purchasing it, make sure that the software is compatible with your PC. To do so, download the demo or trial version from our site and install it on your PC to make sure it works properly with your version of your system software.

Payment options

The easiest and most convenient way to place an order is to use your credit card. All your information is transferred to our server in a secure mode. If you order a handheld dictionary, no charges will be made to your account until we obtain a confirmation of the order from you. If you prefer payment methods other than the credit card, you can check a special option "Call salesman" when you fill in the order form, and a sales executive will contact you to discuss an alternative way of payment for the hardware.

Our software is downloadable and has to be paid for online before you can download it.

We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Upon receipt of your order for hardware, our sales staff will contact you (by phone or e-mail) to confirm the order. After you confirm the order, we'll debit your account or wait for the remittance to our account (in case of bank transfer), after that your order will be shipped to you by a courier service.

Customers can remit payments for software orders as well. In case of a software order please contact us
