Shipping Frequently Asked Questions


First, let me assure you that I keep my shipping prices as low as possible. Generally, I estimate the actual shipping cost of the item and round up to the nearest dollar to cover the packing cost of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, etc. The remaining few cents helps cover my time and gas to the post office. :-)

Many of our items offer FREE U.S. SHIPPING!  I will discount shipping charges on these items for express shipping such as Priority Mail or for International customers.

To thank my volume buyers, I discount shipping costs as much as possible for multiple item orders.
(See Combined Shipping below).

Most orders are shipped within 24-48 hours of receiving your payment. Excludes Sundays and holidays.

If you have any questions, need a shipping quote, or have a special request, please email us!

Note: This policy applies only to eBay purchases from Christian Bargain Bookstore. Other eBay sellers operate using their own business policies.


Shipping Options:

Most of our auctions and store items offer different shipping options to accommodate various customer needs. By default, all books are shipped via USPS Media Mail. If you would like your order in a hurry, Priority Mail is available on most orders. You will need to edit the shipping method using the drop-down menu on your invoice in "My eBay".

  • Media Mail: USPS Media Mail is a  more affordable method of shipping exclusively for books, audio, video, and other similar types of media. Media Mail has a slightly slower delivery time than first class. Delivery is usually 4-10 business days. Media Mail is used primarily for shipping books at a greatly discounted rate per pound - generally $3-4 for the first book, and $1 or less for each additional book.
     

  • First Class Mail: USPS First Class is the "normal" method of shipping for letters and small packages. First Class Mail usually delivers in 2-5 business days. Items under 8 ounces will usually be delivered via First Class Mail.
     

  • Parcel Post: USPS Parcel Post is a more affordable method of shipping for larger or heavier items that do not qualify for Media Mail. Delivery is usually 4-7 business days. Most computer items in stock will ship via Parcel Post or Priority Mail.
     

  • Priority Mail: Priority Mail is used for express shipping available from the USPS for letters and packages. Priority Mail "should" be delivered in 2-3 business days. Due to "Flat-Rate" Priority Mail, I can often ship two books together for just $6.00 or 5-6 books for just $10.00.
     

Combined Shipping Discounts:

Receive big shipping discounts when you order multiple items from our auctions or eBay Store. Due to lower shipping charges per pound on heavier items, I can ship several items together more affordably than shipping items individually. We pass this savings on to you!

U.S. Shipping on most individual books, audiobooks, videos and DVDs will be charged $3.00-4.00 for the first item, and $1.00 per additional item shipped via Media Mail. Larger discounts will be provided for larger orders - as low as 40 cents per item. Book "lots" will be discounted similarly.

If you are bidding on auctions that end at different times and would like to combine your orders, I will hold your item(s) up to 7 days, but you MUST send me an email to confirm that you want to add to your order.

Combined Item Order Instructions:
 
1. Browse through our eBay Store for great savings up to 80% off retail!

2. Use "Buy-It-Now" to order each item you want. Do NOT pay for your items individually.

3. When you are finished shopping, send us an email to request a "combined" invoice. We will combine all your items into one invoice and adjust the discounted shipping rate for multiple items, then email you a new invoice.

4. After you  get your total invoice, make just one payment with PayPal. We will ship your order within 24-48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays).
 

International Shipping:

International customers MUST have a U.S. Shipping Address!

Please contact us for International shipping rates BEFORE bidding.

Local Pickup:

If you live in the north Dallas/Plano, Texas area, I will be happy to arrange for local pickup on larger orders. Please email me to request a local pickup, and I will provide directions.
