Let’s Talk Shipping:

OK, political rant coming up: This is what happens when you privitize a government function. (Think about your social security being privitized! Ouch!!) The US Postal Service has now jacked up prices so high, that we’ve had to raise our shipping rates accordingly. We try to keep shipping costs as close to actual cost as possible - smaller paperbacks cost less to ship so that is reflected in stated shipping cost within the listing. We've all been gouged for excess postage, so we won’t do that to you.

The cost for media shipping depends on the weight and can range from $ 2.66 up to $ 3.89. Any smaller books that can be shipped first class will be.

The cost for priority shipping (items that will fit into a USPS flat-rate envelope) is now $ 5.35. (We don’t list heavier books or larger books that don’t fit into that envelope for priority shipping. However, we can ship heavier, larger books priority, but we would have to get you a quote on that.)

Multiple orders will be shipped together if possible and excess postage over $4.00 will be returned to you via paypal or by company check.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: The minimum for international shipping (items that will fit into an international priority flat-rate envelope) is $16.95 (as of January 2012) – and we round that off to $17.00. Shipping to Canada and Mexico is $14.95 and the excess shipping fees will be refunded.
International first class shipping can range from $ 7.00 to $12.49 for books up to but not over 1 pound. We quote this rate at $11.30, but will return any shipping not used over $3.00.

We ship within 2 - 3 business days of the order placement - God willing and "the creek don't rise."

There is a drop-down shipping menu for each book – just select your shipping preference.
