Hello,

We know that shipping costs are of concern to our member booksellers and we want you to know that we've heard your concerns, particularly regarding international shipping maximums in our shipping matrix. We're pleased to tell you that as of today, we're increasing many of the shipping matrix maximum rates in the AbeBooks USA shipping matrix.

New Rates
We've included a few of the changes to your matrix maximums below. You can also view a comparison chart of the old and new rates in Bookseller Central.

Summary of Changes

First Item

• International priority: increase of $6.00 to $30.00
• International standard: increase of $2.00 to $19.00

Second Item

• International priority: remains the same at $22.00
• International standard: increase of $5.00 to $20.00

These new shipping maximums are accessible to you now. Any changes that are made to your shipping matrix need an AbeBooks system update to occur to make your new rates viewable in search but please note that prior to the system update, buyers will be able to see your updated rates in the shopping basket and checkout process. System updates occur throughout the week at regular intervals.

Our goal is to provide you with the flexibility you need to cover your costs while remaining competitive and we hope these new maximums achieve this. Please note that we haven't automatically adjusted your individual rates, but have made the new maximums available to you. If you wish to do so, you can review or adjust your rates from your Members Menu.

Sincerely,

Your AbeBooks Team
