Save Money on Shipping

Biblio is a marketplace for thousands of independent booksellers, and each bookseller listing on Biblio determines their own shipping prices for items they are sending.  Shipping charges can vary, depending on many factors including the size and weight of the books ordered, the distance the order has to travel from the bookseller to the customer, the shipping method used by the bookseller, and whether you choose standard or expedited shipping.

• Free Shipping! Some of the booksellers on Biblio offer Free Shipping for books being shipped within the United States.

• What country is that book coming from? Biblio.com is an international marketplace. If you see a very high shipping cost, it may be due to higher international shipping rates.  You can limit your search results by the country the book is shipping from on the Biblio Advanced Search page.

• Can you buy all of your desired books from the same bookseller? Each of our independent booksellers listing on Biblio determines their own shipping prices for items they are sending.  Most booksellers offer discounted shipping on any additional books added to an order. You can see a bookseller’s rates by clicking on the link that says “calculate shipping” on the book detail page.

• If you are looking at the listing page of a book you are interested in, or while in your shopping cart, you can click on the bookseller’s business name to visit a search page for that individual bookseller.   From there, you can search or browse for more books from that seller’s inventory. Once you have selected additional books from the seller, simply place them in your cart to receive multiple book shipping discounts from that seller.

Now you can procure the next book on your to-read list, and make sure that you save your hard-earned money by finding it on Biblio!
