Mark's Basic Book Store

All orders handled promptly. Generally, items ship within hours of receipt of payment. Oversize items and international shipments may require extra time to process. Due to recent rate increases and service reductions at the US Postal Service, I may need to request: 1) Additional charges, or 2) The name and contact information of your preferred alternate shipping company.

Typical packaging for books consists of 1) a corrugated cardboard carton, with cut-to-fit reinforcing for bottom and top; 2) a plastic bag for each volume, securely taped; 3) plastic bubble wrap applied in transverse layers (horizontal/vertical/horizontal etc.); 4) wrapped book placed in carton; 5) carton "H-taped" covering all seams; and 6) label applied and taped.

Multi-volume sets may be divided amongst two or more cartons, for ease and safety of handling. Please indicate if you need lighter-weight parcels.

All shipments over USD 50 include insurance. Tracking numbers always.
