If I made an error all costs, including shipping both ways, will be refunded. I try to be extremely thorough and honest in my book descriptions, but....people are people and on rare occasions an error or oversight can occur. In such a case, I always make good on MY mistake; you are not stuck paying for my mistake.

Packaging: I use clean, recycled materials whenever possible, to reduce expenses. I pack books very thoroughly, so that they survive the vagaries of the US and international postal systems in good order; arriving safely, and as described. For US domestic orders, I use USPS Delivery Confirmation forms on all books, shipped in US, others when possible; these provide a handy tracking mechanism which I share with the purchaser.

Shipping Prices: I endeavor to ship same day as payment is made when possible Monday through Friday.
Shipping prices are as close as possible to actual cost of postage and materials. I do not try to profit on shipping, merely to cover my actual costs. I have no control over the shipping rates set by US Postal Service, and charge what they charge.
