Treasure Island Books is not responsible for how the United States Postal Service (USPS) conducts its business, neither in how they assess shipping rates nor for their delivery times and methods.
Neither is Treasure Island Books responsible for how Stamps.com conducts its business.
Treasure Island Books cannot reasonably be held responsible for any delays of a package's delivery caused by the United States Postal Service (USPS), the postal system of any foreign country, the Customs Departments of the USA or any foreign country, any military authority, any other legal authority as necessary, inclement weather, or the increased postal traffic during the year-end holiday season.
Our shipping fees are subject to change without notice. We make every effort to keep this information up-to-date but there may be instances when this is not immediately possible.
If the difference between what we quoted and charged you for shipping and the actual cost of shipping is less than $1.00, we will absorb the difference.
If the difference between what we quoted you and the actual cost of shipping is $1.00 or more, we will contact you for your decision to send the necessary additional postage or cancel the order.
If the difference between what we quoted and charged you for shipping turns out to be more than $1.00 of the actual cost, we will promptly refund you the difference, either via Paypal or our company check.
Large and/or heavy books may require higher postage than what you may expect, especially if shipped via a method other than USPS Media Mail within the USA. In our shipping quote, we'll let you know if this is necessary. We've made every effort to identify our large and/or heavy books in their descriptions; if some are not, we apologize for any oversight.
We are required by law to attach a USA Customs form to all packages being shipped outside the USA.
We are also required by law to attach a USA Customs form to all military addresses, such as APOs and FPOs, even if those addresses' ultimate destinations are within the USA.
The actual amount charged for the merchandise will be recited on the USA Customs form along with “Other” or “Merchandise” indicated as the package's contents.
Customers are responsible for 100% of any Customs fees assessed by their country.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping information, including full name and shipping address of the addressee.
Foreign addresses must include the full name of the city and state/province fully spelled out as well as postal codes.
Treasure Island Books cannot reasonably be held responsible for packages returned to us due to incorrect address information provided by customers, nor can we reasonably be held responsible for delays in shipping due to the need of verifying addresses.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The United States Congress passed legislation in August 2008 against merchants and libraries selling or lending children's books published BEFORE 1985 because of POSSIBLE lead content in the inks used to print the books. Therefore, Treasure Island Books is selling such books as COLLECTOR'S ITEMS ONLY FOR ADULT USE ONLY. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to supervise the use of such books around children, and Treasure Island Books assumes no legal responsibility thereof.
