Condiciones de env�o

The rates for international orders are based on ca. 2/1kg books of standard size. Books that are EXTRA LARGE or HEAVY may require additional shipping/postage.

Sorry for the cost of shipping, but I do not set the postal rates. That is done by US Postal Service. It tends to change [UP] about every 6 months.

International shipping is done using a Freight Forwarder. We send the book to a US domestic address, where it is consolidated by the shipper. When there are sufficient items for the FF to send them onwards, they will do so. This takes ca. 2-6 weeks for international packages to be delivered.

On international orders it is the responsibility of the buyer to know any rules, regulations, laws, etc., regarding what may, or may not, be imported.

Any and ALL customs/duties/import fees/etc. are payable by the buyer. They are NOT included in the cost of postage.

It is the responsibility of the buyer, in a foreign country, to know what is permissable to be imported. Any/all rules/laws/regulations which may affect the delivery of ordered item are the responsibility of the buyer NOT the seller [ME].

Some countries which must provide a domestic/USA address to send the books to: Russia, Israel, Lebanon, Yemen, Brazil, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, China.

Items are packed using clean, recycled materials, to keep costs down and help save the wear and tear on the our planet.

If you have questions, please ask. We will try to answer you as quickly as possible.
