Parcel Requirements

AbeBooks does not specify how you must package books or what shipping methods you must use.  We do ask that you use materials that will protect the items that you are sending, and that represent you in a professional manner.  Shipping methods used must have delivery times within the timeframe selected by the buyer when the order is placed.

With each AbeBooks order, you must include an AbeBooks shipping manifest. Shipping manifests are available once you have processed an order and the book is in "Shipped" status.  Click the [View Shipping Manifest] button to view and print the manifest.  

Please be sure to review the section "Buyer special instructions for this order:" included with the order information, for any special shipping requests from the buyer.
