Support & FAQs

Questions about a book or an order? We’re here to help.

Shipping

Where do you ship?

We currently ship within the United States. Available delivery options and charges are shown at Shopify checkout.

When is standard shipping free?

Standard shipping is free on US orders with a merchandise subtotal above $15 after discounts. An order of exactly $15 does not qualify. Expedited shipping remains paid.

Books & conditions

How do I choose a condition?

Choose an available condition on the book’s page before adding it to your cart. Prices and availability can vary by condition.

What about library copies and missing dust jackets?

Check the notices beneath your selected condition for information such as “Former library copy” or “Missing dust jacket.” The cover photo represents the catalog edition and may not show the exact copy you receive.

Why does a book have no photo?

If a usable main cover photo is unavailable, we show “No image available.” You can still shop by the title, author, ISBN, and condition.

Orders & returns

Where can I see my order?

Sign in to your account to view your orders, or use your order confirmation email from Shopify.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Email support@usedbookcompany.com with your order number as soon as possible. We’ll check whether it has shipped and explain the available options.
