5 Good Reasons to Buy Directly from Us 1. Save on Shipping!
When you order books directly from us, we charge $2.50 for shipping and handling of one title (add 50 cents if you want delivery confirmation or it seems necessary, say for mailing to Hawaii or Alaska or even the West Coast) and add $1 for each additional book. Amazon charges $3.49 per book (for media mail shipments purchased from an outside vendor such as us that are listed on their site). For new books ordered directly from Amazon, they charge $3.99 for the first book and then $.99 for any additional books ordered. For priority mail delivery for a single book, Amazon charges $5.49 for books sold by outside vendors; we charge $4.05. | Order Example | Green Living Books | Amazon.com | | One book sent media mail | $2.50 | $3.49 or $3.99 [new & direct] | | Two books sent media mail | $3.50 | $6.98 or $4.99 [new & direct] | | Three books sent media mail | $4.50 | $10.49 or $5.99 [new & direct] | | One book priority (1st class) mail | $4.05 | $5.49 or $9.48 [2-day] | | Two books priority (1st class) mail | $4.05 or weight-based | $10.49 | 2. Direct Customer Service:
Contact us directly, without having to go through Amazon.com or Half.com. We can be reached at sales@greenlivingbooks.net or toll-free: 802-257-6900 or 877-265-9453; Calling hours: 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Dedicated fax: 206-333-1227. 3. Spread the Wealth Wee Bit:
While Amazon.com offers a great resource for book buyers, they are still a multi-billion dollar company that throws their weight around and squeezes book sellers and publishers. Ordering directly from us not only saves you money, but benefits us (a progressive, microbusiness) and Chelsea Green Publishing (a progressive small business) a little bit. 4. Money-Back Guarantee:
When you order a book through us from Amazon.com or another website, naturally we guarantee that you will receive the book you ordered in the condition we stated, but we don't guarantee that you will be satisfied with the book itself. When you order directly with us, we'll give you up to 30 days to decide if the book itself gives you the reading or informational experience you expected. If not it doesn't, as long as the book is in basically the same good condition you received it in, return it for a full refund of the book price (we won't refund shipping costs). 5. Fabulous prices!
We stay competitive by bi- or tri-weekly (minimum) updating of prices so our books are competitively priced with the lowest prices on the net. Sometimes another bookseller may temporarily nip us by a wee bit, but you can save time and money by going to us directly, confident that in addition to super low shipping costs, you're getting great prices on the books themselves. | Green Living Books | P.O.
