All online orders from Anu Book Centre are delivered island-wide through our courier partner, TransExpress. This page explains the delivery minimum, delivery rates, Cash on Delivery, and what to expect after you place an order.
1. Delivery Partner
We ship every online order through TransExpress Services Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, a courier service covering the whole island. Once your order is dispatched, you'll receive a waybill/tracking number so you can follow your delivery.
2. Delivery Rates
Delivery is available on orders of Rs.1,000 or more (the total of your items, before the delivery charge). Orders under Rs.1,000 are welcome for in-store pickup at our Wattala shop.
Delivery is charged based on your area and calculated at checkout. Current rates:

Heavier or bulkier orders (e.g. multiple books, large stationery sets) may be charged additional-kg rates on top of the base zone rate.

Cash on Delivery is available island-wide alongside online card payment via PayHere. Have the exact amount ready for the courier where possible.
