INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

The shipping calculator tab will give you the available rates.

Most items will ship with eBay International Shipping. The program lowers the shipping rate by having us ship the package to a warehouse in the US and then eBay arranges the shipping.

For international shipping we only use boxes as we want the book to get to you safely. We may also ship in bubble envelope if possible to lower shipping charges, but this is only if it can be shipped safely with an envelope.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:

eBay collects and remits VAT/GST/other taxes for most orders. We do not collect any taxes for orders and you may be required to pay taxes or charges before you can receive your order. All taxes are the buyers responsibility.

We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts". US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
