Can I save money by combining shipping if I purchase more than one item?

Absolutely. We're happy to combine shipping on both auction and store items.

For media mail, combined shipping will save you $3.00 on two items, $6.00 on three items, $9.00 on four items, and so on, as compared to the total of the separate packing & shipping charges for each item.

To calculate combined shipping rates for Priority Mail, total the Shipping Codes from the rate charts for each individual item, then click here to find the packing & shipping rate for USA Priority Mail.

We have hundreds of books available, so you have abundant opportunities to save by adding to your purchase.

How do you ship?

We ship by United States Postal Service, using either media mail or priority mail.

Do you offer insurance?

We guarantee the safe arrival of all items shipped to USA addresses, so insurance is an unnecessary expense. If a package is valued over $50.00, we'll provide insurance at no extra charge.

Can I be confident that the item I purchase will match its description?

We guarantee that all auction and store items are accurately described. In the event of an error in the description, we will provide a replacement (if available) or a full refund (including the cost of the item, packing and shipping charges, and your return shipping costs.)

Do you charge sales tax?

New Mexico residents must add 6.875% of the total (including the packing & shipping charge) to cover sales tax.

Please do not ask us to falsify customs forms; we won't.

Can I save money by combining shipping if I purchase more than one item?

We're happy to combine shipping on both auction and store items if doing so will save you money.  (Occassionally, because of the way that international shipping rates are structured, separate shipping may be the most economical option.)

We have hundreds of books available, so you have abundant opportunities to save by adding to your purchase.

We ship by United States Postal Service. Depending on the size, shape, and weight of the shipment, we may use First Class Mail International (formerly known as Airmail Letter-Post), Priority Mail International (formerly known as Global Priority Mail and Airmail Parcel Post), or M-Bag.

No. Buyer assumes all risk of loss or damage on international shipments.
