Rates & Delivery Times




Glossary

  • First Item / Additional Items
    Most companies charge a flat rate per order, plus a flat rate per item. Each web site (except for eBay) determines its own shipping rate. On eBay, the individual seller determines its own shipping rate.

  • Domestic
    Most companies will charge the lowest rates for domestic deliveries. In the US, a domestic delivery will average $3.00 to $4.00.

  • International
    International deliveries may be more expensive. Each company determines its own rate. Expect to pay a minimum of $5.00 for an international delivery.

  • Free Shipping
    Some vendors offer free shipping if you spend a minimum amount of money (often $25 - $50), or if you pay a yearly fee. Our system calculates free shipping when you qualify for a single item order.

  • Fulfillment
    Some items are sent from a warehouse, and some from an independent seller (such as a student reselling a textbook). A larger company that does its own fulfillment may guarantee prompt shipping of your item, while a smaller independent seller may not follow the same principles of fast delivery.

  • Delayed Shipping
    Many sellers have a delayed shipping period, which can make an "overnight" delivery take multiple days. When an order is placed with an independent marketplace seller, there is no guarantee that a seller will promptly package and deliver your item, even if you pay for overnight shipping. This is especially true for orders placed later in the day.

    Orders placed later in the business day may have been placed after the delivery company is closed, and the book may be sent from a time zone that is earlier than yours. For example, if you are in the PST time zone and order a book from the EST time zone, most delivery services will be closed by 2pm PST and your order will be delayed an extra day.
