PLEASE REMEMBER -- IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PACK YOUR BOOKS
IN A HEAVY DUTY BOX WITH AMPLE PACKING MATERIAL AND SEAL THOROUGHLY
WITH SHIPPING TAPE!!!! You MUST include all applicable cd's,
disks, booklets and other text supplements with your shipment to
ensure proper credit.
How do I ship my books?
Pack
your textbooks tightly in a heavy duty shipping type carton. A 70
pound-rated container is highly suggested. Lay books flat in the
box with the spine of the book facing outward. Do not stand books
upright. Secure all remaining open areas of the box, including the
top, with ample packing material. We suggest styro-foam peanuts
or bubble wrap. PLEASE DO NOT USE NEWSPAPER!
Attach a copy of the shipping charges receipt to packing slip or write
the charges on the box label. Include a copy of the packing list in the box before sealing.
Seal your box thoroughly with a heavy duty shipping tape. We suggest sealing all seams,
plus, applying two strips around the perimeter of the container for extra support.
DO NOT use masking or scotch tape. Securely affix the provided shipping label to the top
of the box. Clearly mark shipping charges on right hand corner of label (unless you are
using a collect shipping label available at the end of a transaction).
Use the following address if you do not have a ready made label:
FacultyBooks.com
c/o Texas Book Company
8501 Technology Circle
Greenville, Texas 75402
Please ensure you have searched each title by its ISBN located
on the back outside cover of the book. This ISBN is the basis for
our pricing database. Compare the title listing on the packing slip
with the book carefully to ensure a match. Be careful not to mistake
a regular listing of a title for an alternate listing such as an
annotated instructor's listing or free copy listing.
Which shipper do I use?
- To use our prepaid labels
United States Postal Service (USPS) - Print a prepaid label by logging into
your account or at the end of a sell order transaction. Drop the package off
at any post office, give it to your postal carrier, or use the mailroom at
your school or work.
United Parcel Service (UPS) - Complete a sell order transaction containing
four or more textbooks. Print a prepaid UPS Ground label at the end of the
transaction. Take your package to the nearest authorized shipping outlet,
UPS driver, or shipping point from your school or work. Please make sure you
use a main UPS terminal, not a retail shipping center referred to as
"Authorized Shipping Outlets". Retail Authorized Shippers, or local office
supply stores, generally apply an additional charge up to 50% of the actual
cost of the freight. We will honor our pledge to pay the freight, but your
cooperation will help Facultybooks.com control shipping costs. By helping us
minimize freight costs, we can continue to offer the highest prices possible
for your textbooks.
- To ship on your own
You can use any carrier method that is most convenient to you. However,
Facultybooks.com will only reimburse you standard ground freight. If you
choose to ship to us via an expedited method, we will only reimburse what
standard ground freight charges would have been. Any expedited method you
choose to use will be at your expense. Remember to always pack your boxes
tightly with plenty of packing material.
Who pays shipping costs?
FacultyBooks.com will reimburse your shipping costs for ground service only. Attach a
copy of the shipper's receipt to your packing slip. If there is no record of shipping
costs included in your shipment, we will determine the raw cost of the shipping based on
weight of package and reimburse you that amount. FacultyBooks.com only reimburses freight
charges for the standard services provided by the entities listed above. If a package is
sent to us via AIR or premium service, FacultyBooks.com will only reimburse the freight
amount equal to ground service charges normally incurred.
