We are using a courier, NOT Canada Post.
As well as taking orders through ABE, we accept PayPal orders. Personal cheques or International (outside Canada) money orders are
made payable to W. Fraser Sandercombe. Also, within Canada, e-mail money
transfers work out just fine. All prices, including shipping, are in U.S. dollars.
A discount will always be considered on large orders; also, reciprocal discounts are available to booksellers - please inquire.
RETURNS: If you decide you don't want the book after all, you may contact us
within one week and we'll discuss a return. Drop-ships are welcomed but no
refunds can be given on a book sent to a third party.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. We rarely ever ask for more shipping, regardless of the weight of the book. Most of the time, what you see is what you pay.
