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.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Lazy S Books, Austin, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and

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.
