THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING
WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
INTERNATIONAL
POSTAGE NOTICE !
AS OF MAY 14th, 2007, THE US POSTAL
SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED INTERNATIONAL
MAIL RATES - ALL SURFACE MAIL HAS BEEN
DROPPED, THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO
CLASSES OF AIR MAIL= PRIORITY OR
FIRST CLASS.
Due to increasingly higher postal
rates, and the many packages that seem to be lost or damaged, on International Mail, we now only
will ship internationally via E-Bay’s Global shipping program, which goes by
courier services.
Import duties, taxes, and charges are
NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the
buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to
determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These
charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or
when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as
"gifts". U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such
behavior.
ON PAPER
BACK BOOKS & MAGAZINES, MANY TIMES WE CAN COMBINE SEVERAL BOOKS AND SAVE
POSTAGE IN THE US ONLY.
If you have further
questions - happy to answer them - please email us.
Please browse our other
items and bookmark our site - we constantly add new items.
We pack your item
extremely carefully so you will receive it in the best condition.
This sometimes causes
us to be a day or two late in processing orders if we have a good number of
sales as we normally only drive to the Post Office on Monday, Wednesday &
Friday.
Please be patient- we aim to provide the best
service we can. We have been in business 50 years.
VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOKS
Please be
aware that the binding glue in vintage paperbacks is likely to be much drier
than newer books, and thus more fragile than more modern printings. Paper also
can be sometimes somewhat brittle.
All vintage
paperbacks require proper & careful care in handling & reading or the
spine glue will crack !!.
SHIPPING TIMES
WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE,
SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE ARE EXPERIENCING 2 – 6 WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF MAIL USED .
Shipments inside the US are also experiencing massive
slowdowns, please be patient. Media Sometimes is taking 1 to 4 weeks with no
rhyme or reason as to why.
IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE. PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A
WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE
POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT, PLEASE BE
PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED.
(
Due to be budget shortfalls and massive job cuts, and projected closing of many
distribution centers, that are being
implemented by the US Post Office - we
are already seeing delivery times longer than was seen previously – please be
patient )
WE
HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS & WE KNOW BY BITTER EXPERIENCE JUST
HOW SLOW THE MAIL CAN BE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING . Bob Ruman
