THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE NOTICE !
WITH THE MASSIVE NEW US POST OFFICE RATE HIKE, AS OF JAN. 2013 WE WILL NOT LIST INTERNATIONAL RATES ON MOST ITEMS, AS WE FEEL THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR YOU.
IF YOU STILL ARE INTERESTED YOU CAN ASK FOR A QUOTE – BUT BE ADVISED IT MAY BE VERY EXPENSIVE !
IF YOU THEN AGREE WITH THE POSTAGE AMOUNT , YOU CAN ORDER BUT DO NOT PAY – IT ACTUALLY WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PAY , BUT WE THEN CAN SEND YOU AN INVOICE WITH THE CORRECT POSTAGE INCLUDED. When you order please comment on what amount we quoted you , thanks
For instance – Old Global Priority envelope was $ 16.95 - Now it is $ 23.95
“ Old medium priority flat rate box was $ 47.95 - now $ 59.95
“ Old large flat rate box was $ 60.95 - now $ 77.95
All other rates went up as well. This will quite likely go up every year in the future !
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.
POSTAGE WILL BE COMBINED ON MULTIPLE ITEMS PURCHASED. PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING - I MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU POSTAGE.
ON PAPER BACK BOOKS & MAGAZINES, MANY TIMES WE CAN COMBINE SEVERAL BOOKS, AND / OR SHIP CHEAPER BY FIRST CLASS AIR MAIL ( A LITTLE SLOWER THAN PRIORITY)- PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT RATES.
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 - 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 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 AIR MAIL USED AND IF ITEM IS HELD UP IN CUSTOMS, BUT SOMETIMES FOR LONGER FOR NO KNOWN REASON.
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 .
