We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 - 4 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2 LBS. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
Note on international orders: ABE's limits on shipping charges are less than the actual cost of international postage in many cases. Consequently additional shipping charges may be applied on international orders. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
