We will normally confirm receipt of your order within an hour of ordering. We will also email you when your order has shipped and provide you with your order tracking information where possible.

Payment Options

We accept American Express, MasterCard, Discover Card and VISA credit cards. We do not accept cash, checks, money orders or CODs for orders placed online, or via telephone.

Sales Tax and Other Charges

This site supports the collection and remittance of Sales Tax for all US states. The application of sales tax to your order is determined by the rules governing the specific online bookstore client whose product you are purchasing and the state to which the order will be shipped. Please check your sales tax charges at checkout.

Please note that Customers outside the United States shall be responsible for the payment of any import taxes, duties, tariffs or similar charges which may be imposed over and above ordinary shipping charges.

Telephone Orders

We encourage you to order online for the fastest possible service. If you choose to order by telephone, in order to help expedite the process, please browse the online store, collect your product codes (ISBN number), and have your credit card ready before placing your call.

Within the United States please call toll-free 1-800-343-4499. Shoppers in other countries may call 1-731-988-4440.

Backorders

This site supports backorder processing. Your ability to place a backorder for out of stock product is determined by the policy of the online bookstore client. Please note that your credit card will only be charged when items you have ordered are released for shipping (shipping charges are charged for the entire order on the first shipment).

Credit Rejection

Because we do not charge your credit card until your order is released for shipment, it is possible that the charge may be rejected. In this event, we will send you an email notifying you of this occurrence and cancel the related order lines (in the case of backorders, your card may be charged at different times as products come into stock).
