Shipping and Sales Policy

All orders ship within seven business days. Each book is professionally packed to ensure it arrives safely and without damage. Our default FREE shipping method is USPS Media Mail. Priority Mail is available for a $15 flat rate fee (additional items are $2 each); however, alternative carriers may be used, depending on the destination or specific order requirements. We are happy to offer combined shipping on multiple purchases whenever possible.

Shipping fees are clearly stated in each listing and reflect not only postal rates but also handling, packaging materials, and off-site inventory retrieval costs. These fees are non-negotiable after purchase.

However, please note that bulk orders, collections, and multi-volume sets require separate shipping calculations due to their cumulative size, weight, and additional packaging needs. Higher shipping fees will apply to such orders. We strongly encourage buyers interested in group lots or larger collections to contact us in advance to discuss shipping options and receive a quote before placing an order.

We ask all buyers to carefully review listing details and reach out with any questions prior to making a purchase. This includes inquiries about shipping costs, delivery times, or any special requests.

Payment for purchased items is expected within three (3) business days. If you are unable to complete payment within this timeframe, please contact us in advance to discuss alternative arrangements.

Requests to renegotiate shipping charges or other clearly stated terms after a purchase will not be considered. All terms of sale are transparent and should be clarified prior to buying.
