Order Expiry

All orders, whether e-commerce or seller direct, require processing via the AbeBooks Web site. An order cannot be processed more than once. If an order has been updated, the status cannot be changed except to process a Return. Although AbeBooks has distinct time lines for order processing, we recommend processing and shipping all orders within 48 hours.
