Backorder Update from Basically Books


Dear Parents,

We hope your learners had a fantastic first week back at school and are settling into the 2025 academic year smoothly.

While we have received some stock for Cooper College and have managed to fulfill and dispatch a large volume of orders and backorders, there are still a number of titles currently on backorder with Cambridge University Press.

We want to express our sincere gratitude for your patience and understanding as we navigate the delays caused by supply challenges from our international suppliers.

The following grades remain affected by these delays:

  • Grade 4
  • Grade 5
  • Grade 6
  • IGCSE
  • AS/A Level

Updated Delivery Estimates:

  • Grade 4-6, including the French titles, stock is expected to arrive between mid-to-late January, with French titles estimated closer to mid-February.
  • IGCSE and AS/A Level, including the exam preparation and practice books, stock is anticipated closer to the end of March.

We must emphasize that these dates are estimates provided by Cambridge University Press, are not 100% accurate, and remain subject to change without prior notice.

The school has been informed as we are aware that tests are expected to begin at the end of February/start of March. We are actively working on alternative solutions to ensure learners are not placed at a disadvantage.

While we share your frustration, we must unfortunately acknowledge that there is little we can do to expedite the process.

These titles are in reprint with the publisher and are subject to import lead times. We are dependent on Cambridge University Press, as well as the UK school year schedules and operating timelines. Rest assured, we are following up daily and weekly to gather updates and will share any new information as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you once again for your patience and understanding. We are doing everything we can to support you and your learners through these challenges.

Wishing you and your family a successful and rewarding new school year.

Warm regards
