In 20 years of catalogue and online bookselling, we have never had a problem due to packaging within North America, Western Europe, Australia/New Zealand or Japan.
Shipping Rates
US Media Mail shipping (within the U.S.) is $3.50 for any quantity of books, representing a small discount for our customers on multiple orders.
US Priority shipping (within the U.S.) is $7.00 for a single item, small enough to fit in USPS provided Priority materials. Inquire for combined US Priority shipping on multiple orders. Often several books can be sent together in a flat-rate box. Very large, heavy books may require additional shipping. Books under 8oz, like Beatrix Potter books, can be sent 1st Class Air for quite a lot less and just as fast; contact us first.TEL: 503 838-5452 EMAIL: truprice@oldchildrensbooks.com
