Updated 13/8/11

Both Active workers will be out of the UK from the 17th to 29th of August so please don’t expect a response during this time.
The new shop is open again, a few people are having trouble with disappearing “Next” buttons in the shopping cart section, if this happens, try using a different browser and please email us.

In the last few months we have had a large amount of mail go missing so from now on (for UK customers only) we will not refund or replace missing orders unless you pay for Recorded Signed For which is 75p extra see webshop for details.

NEW ON-LINE SHOP!

Its active! All new stock from now on will only go on the new catalogue site. Please continue to check the old site for as long as it takes us to transfer all our stuff to the new site (probably a year or two!). Email us with your order first if possible if you use the old catalogue because we’ll probably just transfer those items across to make things easier.
We are now deleting items from the old catalogue once they are on the new one.

Our next Active stall will be at the event below, click on image for more info;

Mail order email list updates have collapsed of late, until we sort it out you may like to follow our new arrivals on Twitter

EMAIL!We get a lot of email so please be patient if you do not get a quick response

PLEASE MAKE ALL ORDERS THROUGH THE NEW WESHOP!
If you see something in the old catalogue please email us first before ordering it and if we still have it we will add it to the new catalogue.
If you live outside the UK please email us first to see if some alternative payment arrangement can be made! If you’re not sure how much to send in currencies other than Uk Sterling try this currency converter!

NO MORE AK
OR FREEDOM PRESS TITLES
Active works out of a very small space and has reached a point where we need to create some space for new items. Therefore we are going to stop distributing AK Press and Freedom Press titles. Both these organisations now have their own efficient mail order operations and we trust you will continue to buy stuff from them direct.
