FAQs

Where do you ship from?

We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

What are your shipping options?

For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.

For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.

Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.

No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?

One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.

If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.

  • If you wish to cancel your online order for any reason, you will receive store credit, not a refund.
