Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. For International Orders your estimated shipping costs are too low. Should contact me before accepting order so I have time to contact the overseas customer with the real shipping costs.
