测试殖民地
Description
这是我们抵达的下午。我们"测试殖民地"的同伴们回到了湖边的空地，得到了他们的双腿，并在天狼星二十二世的甜美洁净的空气中喝酒。我和我们小组的负责人菲利普·本森 一起沿着沙滩漫步，嗅着拥挤在水边20英尺内的森林的辛辣香气。小天狼星从头顶经过十亿英里，以人为的白色光芒发光。在地平线上的某个地方，地球躺着，一个无形的，遥远的尘埃斑点，我们在24个月前就丢掉了沉闷的幽闭恐怖症。这次旅行给我们所有人，甚至是头脑笨拙的菲尔·本森（Phil Benson）都造成了损失。我们俩都很难放松和享受充满活力的，富氧的空气和宜人的气候。作为官方记录员，我试图想出适合捕捉壮丽之处的词语，这颗星球的纯粹可爱，至少在我们这里住了四年，也许永远。本森和我每个人都沉浸在自己的思想中，当他用手扶住我时，我和他之间的距离大约为500码。 "那是谁？"他要求。在他所指的海滩上，从平静的水域中浮现出两种裸露的形态。他们跳过了沙子，开始在森林边缘的柔软草丛中嬉戏地滚动。即使在这样的距离，他们显然是男性和女性。
Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 3–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.
- In stock with our supplier: Items not marked “In Stock” are held by one of our Australian or overseas suppliers. We order them in for you and they usually dispatch within 2–5 business days (3–5 for some suppliers). The estimate next to the price is for this item.
- Special orders: Some supplier items, such as specialist and imported items, titles awaiting reprint and print-on-demand titles, take longer to arrive. If your order includes one, we’ll update you as soon as we hear from our supplier.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.
- Check your address: If an order goes to an incorrect address you gave us, or isn’t collected and Australia Post returns it to us, you’ll need to pay the postage to send it again.
Cancellations
Need to change or cancel an order? Contact us as soon as possible at contact@bookloop.com.au or through our contact page.
- Within 30 minutes: You can change or cancel your order for a full refund within 30 minutes of placing it.
- After 30 minutes: Your order is already being processed, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. If we can accept a late cancellation, we may offer store credit instead of a refund.
- Items in transit: Once an item is on its way, either from our supplier to us or from us to you, it can’t be cancelled. If you no longer want it once it arrives, you can return it as a change of mind, with return postage at your cost. See Returns.
- Separate orders can’t be combined once they’ve been placed, and adding or swapping items can change the delivery estimate.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
Faulty or damaged items are always covered. See Returns.
