We take pride in ensuring that your books arrive safely and in the condition described.
Shipping Schedule:
Orders are shipped only on Fridays and Saturdays. Orders placed between Sunday and Thursday will be shipped on the following Friday. Please consider this when placing your order, especially if your purchase is time-sensitive.
Packaging:
All books are securely packaged using sturdy materials appropriate to the book’s size and condition. Hardcovers and fragile or valuable items are typically wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in rigid mailers or boxes to prevent damage during transit. Softcovers and smaller items are protected with backing boards and padded envelopes where appropriate.
Shipping Methods:
We ship via standard postal services, with tracking where available. Expedited shipping options may be available depending on location and service availability. Please note that some international shipments may not include tracking depending on the destination and shipping method chosen.
Shipping Rates:
Shipping rates are based on the average weight of a standard book (approximately 1 kg or 2.2 lbs). Oversized or multi-volume sets may require additional shipping charges. In such cases, we will contact the buyer to confirm any additional cost before processing the order.
Estimated Delivery Times:
Domestic orders: Usually arrive within 3–10 business days after shipping.
International orders: Delivery times vary widely depending on destination, customs processing, and postal service conditions but generally range from 2–6 weeks.
Customs & Duties:
International buyers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees required by their local authorities. These charges are not included in the item or shipping price.
Insurance:
Insurance is not included by default. Please note that uninsured packages are shipped at the buyer’s risk once they have been handed over to the postal carrier.
Lost or Delayed Shipments:
If your order is significantly delayed or believed to be lost, please allow the full estimated delivery window to pass before contacting AbeBooks. We will work with you to investigate and resolve shipping issues to the best of our ability.
