**If you priority mail shipment will fit into a flat-rate priority

INTERNATIONAL
As of May 14, 2007, the US Post Office has eliminated all
surface shipping. All shipments now go via air. We can still offer
the cheapest way to ship internationally as we do not charge on a per
book basis. We charge you a $3.25 handling fee plus our actual costs to ship to you. In most cases this
amounts to half what you would pay on a per book basis.
If you buy in bulk, we suggest using air Mbags. Delivery time
is between 2-4 weeks depending upon the country. We offer insurance
for $2.75.
We also offer the International Flat Rate Box. Costs for it are
$25.00 for Canada and $37.00 for everywhere else. The Flat Rate box
will hold approximately 12-15 regular paperbacks and approximately 20
- 22 thin paperbacks. Maximum weight for International Flat Rate Box
is 20 pounds. Delivery time is faster – about 1-2 weeks.
Since most countries outside of the US use kilograms instead of
pounds, use this system of measurement when calculating how many
books will ship in your order:
1 “fat” mass market paperback weighs ½ pound
2 series romance or “skinny” book weighs ½
pound
Example: In a 11 pound box we can get in 22 fat mass market
paperbacks.

INSURANCE
Insurance is an additional cost ($1.30+ for domestic orders, $2.75
for international), but always a good idea. We take great care with
our packaging but once an order leaves our warehouse, we can’t
be held responsible for loss or damage.
