A Review of our Shipping Rates

Monday, May 19, 2008

This past week has been a week of emails and questions about our shipping rates. So, I thought I would post this information here this week, just as a review.

When you are looking to purchase a book from us, you can review our shipping rates by clicking on the Shipping Tab at the top of the page. We have tried to make it as easy as possible for our customers to have all the information they require prior to purchasing their book, so that there are no surprises when you reach check out.

If you have any questions or concerns about the shipping fee for a particular book that you are looking to purchase, please email us prior to ordering the book so that we can address any and all of your concerns.

Below is a copy of the information you will find on our Shipping page:

Shipping and Handling Fees

Please remember to review your shipping address prior to sending your order, to ensure all is correct. We would also ask that, if possible, you provide a telephone number with your order, as this tends to help orders get through customs quicker.

All our books are packed as follows:

  • Hardcover books: wrapped in brown kraft paper, shrink wrapped and then covered with bubble wrap. Depending the size and weight of the book, either placed in a bubble envelope or a cardboard box.
  • Softcover books: wrapped in brown kraft paper, backed with a piece of cardboard, shrink wrapped and then placed in a bubble envelope.

Latest news!!

Friday, May 02, 2008

April has been a very busy month for us here at Trylinski Books. We have signed up with more book listing sites and so have been busy uploading our books to these new sites.

You can now find our entire inventory on the following websites: Antiqbooks, Biblio, Biblion, Choosebooks, and the World Book Market.

If for any reason you are not comfortable paying for a book through PayPal and want to pay by credit card, all our books are on Biblio and Choosebooks and they can process credit card payments for us.

As well you can find a selection of our books on Abebooks, Alibris, and Amazon.ca.

Abebooks has been in the news this past month. They have changed their fee structure for sellers, and we are now paying a commission to Abebooks on the shipping rates we charge on their website. So, if you buy one of our books on Abebooks, you will notice that we have increased our shipping rates on that site to help offset these extra charges.

If you have stopped by and we do not have what you are looking for, we recommend you try Biblio, Choosebooks, Antiqbook, or the World Book Market. There are many independent booksellers from all over the world on these sites who may have the books you are looking for.

Happy Reading!!
