10. How are your books packed up for shipping?

We are very particular about how our books are packed for shipping! Each book is wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it from bumps, dings, and the elements. They're then either packed up neatly & tightly in a box so the books don't move during transit or they are packed into a bubble mailer. Either way, we go above & beyond to ensure that your books get to you in pristine condition. That said, if you are concerned about packing for shipping, please reach out to us!
