• About Us
  
  COPPERS specializes in mysteries starring British or UK detectives who appear in a series of more than one book, although there are some American detectives in our inventory. Our books are mostly police procedurals, but may be cozies or other genres as well, depending upon the author/detective. Our collection features some of the biggest and best names in the business.
  
  The books come from a treasured personal collection and have been well kept and stored in boxes the last several years. Some are hardcover, some soft cover; some are written by American authors, others by their British counterparts. They are all used, but mostly read once and are in near mint collection, unless noted otherwise. Most hardcover books have mylar jackets to protect the cover. The lots are made up of mixed editions. Some are British publications, some American; some are 1st editions, others are book club editions. The author listing will identify the volume as fully as possible. Abbreviations used are: PB (paperback), HB (Hard Bound), 1st (1st edition), BC (Book Club Edition), US (US publication), UK (British publication). We sell in lots, some of which contain the entire series about any one detective or items by a single author. Other lots may be mixed. The photos you see here are of the actual items up for bid/sale and are not stock photos.
  
  
• Payment
  
  We prefer PayPal only. If you MUST pay via money order or personal check contact us first for approval, which will be based on your eBay record. Payment must be made within 5 days of ending bid or sale, or the item will be returned to inventory or offered as a second chance bid, unless you make other arrangement with us.
  
  
• Shipping
  
  All books are bubble wrapped for shipping USPS priority or media mail, the choice is yours. Be aware, however, that media mail could take over 10 days for delivery. Lots may be packaged in flat rate boxes if you wish priority shipping and that is the cheapest way to send. We do not add additional handling per book or lot, but charge $.75 to cover materials. So, if you purchase two lots and they both fit in one box, you pay only one shipping rate depending on weight, destination and rate. It pays to buy more!
  
  Tax will be added in Maryland only. Items will be shipped within two days of payment. If there is to be a delay for any reason, we will notify you. We ship to the U.S. only and will make exceptions for Canada, UK, and Australia only if you contact us first for approval, which will be based on your eBay record. Please note that we ship USPS international priority and charges could be steep.
  
  Insurance is optional for all purchases, but an indemnity of $63.48 is included in the international priority mail rate. We are not responsible for shipments once they leave our location, so be sure to purchase insurance if you are concerned. We strongly recommend that you do so. It is little enough to spend to protect your investment.
  
  Consider all shipping costs estimates until your package is assembled and you receive our invoice. Please do not send money before invoice. We often find that final costs are actually cheaper than estimates.
  
  
• Refunds
  
  All sales are FINAL unless the item is not accurately described. Returned items MUST be shipped within three days of receipt and in the same manner and condition as sent to you. You will be responsible for return shipping and insurance costs.
