Common items in a terms and conditions agreement allow you to:
You have the option to ship either via Media Mail or Priority Mail. Due to problems encountered by USPS during this pandemic, we suggest that you ship via Priority Mai lflat rate envelope which costs $11.20 for shpping & Handling or PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE PADDED envelopE IS $12.50 FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING. This way, you will receive your order faster, insured and with a tracking number. A USPS Flat Rate padded envelope would fit 2-3 normal-size books.
Please email us so we can quote the exact Priority Mail charge if the books you are ordering are large and hardbound or heavy books, or coffee table books.
If you are willing to wait for delayed deliveries, you can also ship via regular Media Mail which cost only $5.95 for light-weight books. We can also ship via Fedex or UPS upon request. If you are ordering hardbound and coffee table books, or if your order is more than two light-weight books, email us for exact shipping costs via media mail. For shipping options and rates for international orders, email us accordingly. Email: LNL.philippinebookshop@yahoo.com
General Disclosures:
Unlike in the US, the market for books in the Philippines is not well-developed yet. Thus, the print run of books that are published in the country tend to be small. The cost of production is high because the print run is low; new technology, paper, ink and other components of publishing have to be imported; a reasonable fee is given for research and the cost of labor has also increased. All these factors are reflected in the selling price for Philippine books within the country. As you are aware, most of our books are imported from the Philippines and the cost of freight, warehousing and labor are added to the landed cost of the book. Thus, Philippine books in the US tend to be expensive. We have been importing books from the Philippines for 36 years now, and we have experienced the increasing price of our imports.
I suggest that you visit our online bookshop regularly and buy a title when it is newly released. This way, the cost is a little less. Once the book goes Out of Print (Marked as Out of Print), we acquire OP titles from a secondary market which means that the acquisition cost is much higher. We sell a lot of out-of-print titles marked as OP. Even if they are OPs, the books are in good condition and are not Used books. Most of the books in our website are in softcover or are paperbound. Some may not look pristine because aging tends to discolor the paper. Plus, paperbound books do not travel well. Titles that are marked out of print (OP) are subject to prior sale. If the title that you want has been presold, we offer a Free Search Service for out of print titles. If interested, email: LNL.philippinebookshop@yahoo.com. However, we can not guarantee how long it would take for our Book Scouts in the Philippines to locate the title that you are interested in. Once a title is found, we will advise you accordingly.
