The price of the report is £30 (to cover production costs) plus packing and postage. Since the report weighs about 3 kg, air mail is expensive (approximately: UK £10, Europe £31, US/Canada £39, Rest of World £47). Surface mail is considerably cheaper but slower. Please inform the Sales desk of how you want the report to be sent and you will be notified of the cost.
