Please browse through our inventory – we have
many rare and collectible books for sale! Please also visit our other
eBay seller account - booksforamerica. We have thousands of more current
books listed there: everything from fiction to non-fiction, CDs to DVDs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please check back often - We are listing items
as quickly as possible. We are a nationally recognized charity. We
describe items as best we can - we would rather receive a lower price by
pointing out every flaw than incorrectly describe an item just to obtain a
higher selling price.

CHARITY SALE!!!
100% of the net proceeds
support Books For America - we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in
Washington, DC. Books for America distributes books and more to organizations
in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States serving needy communities and
people. Recipients of donated books and other items include hospitals,
inner-city schools, assisted living communities for seniors, adult literacy
programs, veterans’ hospitals, youth centers, women's shelters, prisons,
hospices, and more.
You can pick up your purchase in Washington, DC or Fairfax, VA
This
item may be picked up at our used bookstore at 1417 22nd Street, NW in
Washington, DC or at our warehouse location in Fairfax, Virginia.
Email/message us to arrange a time - we have to bring the item from our
warehouse if you want to pick it up downtown. If you pick up from the
store downtown, you can use your credit card or cash, you do not have to pay
online. If you pick up from the warehouse location you must still pay online or
over the phone.
Donate books, DVDs, CDs, Laptops, Phones, and more!
We
obtain books and more through donation drives in communities like yours. We
occasionally obtain items that would be of more value to collectors and others
than to our recipients, and sometimes simply take a small quantity of donated
items and sell them on eBay - proceeds from this sale is what funds our
efforts.
Customer Service
Books
for America Customer Service is normally available during regular business
hours from our Virginia office. We are not normally open on weekends or
holidays. While you may send us a customer service request at any time, please
do not expect any action to be taken on it outside our normal business
hours.
We
send shipment confirmations, delivery confirmation numbers, and miscellaneous
support communications by conventional e-mail. These notices may NOT appear in
your eBay message queue. Be sure to check your registered e-mail address for
the most recent information regarding your shipment. We will send you an
e-mail if we discover a problem with your order. We will give you two (2)
business days to respond to that e-mail with instructions on how you want us to
proceed. If we do not receive those instructions within that time, we will
request cancellation from eBay for your protection.
Payment
We
require payment through PayPal for all eBay orders.
Please note: we use an automated system to collect our orders, so
we do NOT see comments inserted into the PayPal payment notice. If
you need to send us any comments, please contact us directly via e-mail.
Shipping
We ship ONLY to the address given to us by PayPal at the
time of the order. We do not change shipping addresses after the order is
submitted. We will delay
shipping and offer to cancel any un-shipped order where we are asked to change
the delivery address.
We
typically ship orders within one (1) business day of receiving the order. This
is not the same as delivery. Shipping is the time it takes to put your order in
the mail. Delivery is the time it takes for the US Postal Service to carry it
from us to you. Within the 48 contiguous United States, we normally expect
delivery to be between four (4) and fourteen (14) business days from shipping,
but may be as long as twenty-one (21) business days. Contact us if you have any
concerns about your order before leaving any feedback, please!
Returns
Your
satisfaction is very important to us. Please contact us regarding any problems
before leaving negative feedback (see Customer Service, above). Any defects,
damages, or material differences with your item, must be reported to us within
five (5) business days of receipt of the item or thirty (30) business days from
date of shipment.
Orders
may be returned for a full refund of the purchase price, regardless of the
reason. The returned merchandise must be postmarked within thirty (30) business
days of the shipment notification. Non-deliveries must be reported within
thirty (30) business days of Shipment Notification. Orders marked DELIVERED by
the USPS will be considered delivered. Undeliverable, unclaimed, refused, or
insufficient addresses will be refunded upon receipt of the returned item; we
will not re-mail returned items.
