Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. Orders of multi-volume sets and unusually heavy books may incur additional charges. You will be notified before the order is processed. All books of more than $100 value will require a small additional charge for insurance ($1/$100 of value). I include Delivery Confirmation for tracking of all shipments in my shipping charge. If you choose to ship Media Mail, please note that this can take 7-14 days. Our shipping prices may be slightly higher than others but consider that all items are carefully wrapped in bubblewrap, cushioning material, and secure packaging - you won't receive a book dropped into a plain paper envelope! International shipments are very expensive; must be less than 4 pounds and must include insurance at a cost of $1.00/$100 of value. International orders are only shipped via priority mail international. Typical price to Europe for Priority Mail International can be as much as $50.00 US (or more for heavier books)plus insurance. As with my Stateside shipping, I package International shipments very protectively. I will not cram an expensive book in a Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope, it will be well protected in a sturdy box, thus the higher cost.
