    Do you buy International Editions?

    If you send an International Edition instead of the U.S. edition we will evaluate the value of it upon receipt and inform you of the payment, if any, you will receive for it. If we determine the book to have no value it will not be returned to you.

If you have any concerns about this prior to shipping, e-mail us at info@textbookwheel.com.

    Does condition matter?

    Yes it does. A book must be in good or better condition. This means no water damage, no missing or torn pages, no loose bindings and the cover intact. The book can contain some writing or highlighting, but if excessive that could effect the price paid. If a book is received in a condition deemed unacceptable, the price will be adjusted accordingly and in some cases no payment will be made at all. We cannot return any books to you.

    What about calculator condition?

    The calculator must be supplied with the cover, no scratches on the screen and in good working condition. If a calculator is received in a condition deemed unacceptable, the price will be adjusted accordingly and in some cases no payment will be made at all. We cannot return calculators to you.

    How long does shipping take?

    The prepaid label is for Media Mail and can take up to 3 weeks to arrive at our facility. It all depends on how far it has to travel. We are not responsible for lost or damaged items. If you want to expedite the shipping at your own expense feel free to do so. However, you cannot use the prepaid label and must still ship via U.S. Postal Service (FedEx and UPS do not ship to po boxes.

    Is my shipment insured and can I track the progress?

    Our prepaid shipping label is for the shipping only and does not include any Insurance or Tracking. If you want to add Insurance, Delivery Confirmation or other postal services with your shipment you can do that and pay for it yourself. From our experience, there are some postal employees who do not allow our customers to add those services to our prepaid shipping label because they say it is not allowed. According to the USPS website you should be allowed to add them. Here is the website link where you can find the rules: http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/507.htm#wp1048775
    Section 11.4 states:

    11.4 Additional Standards for Permit Holder's Customer
    11.4.1 Customer Options


    If the permit holder has not indicated the extra services listed in 11.3.1 through 11.3.6 a customer may request the extra services listed in 11.3.1 through 11.3.6 at their own expense.


    What if my book is NOT FOUND?

    If you search for a book and receive the NOT FOUND message but feel certain you have a good book, send us an e-mail with the ISBN, Author, Title and Edition of the book and we will give you a quote.

    Do you price match?

    Yes! You can send us an e-mail with the website that is paying more and we will let you know if we can beat their price.

    What if you reject my book due to damage or otherwise?

    You are shipping your books at your own risk. Rejected books cannot be returned.

    What happens if my shipment never arrives?

    We can only pay for shipments that arrive. Any shipment that is lost or damaged in transit is not our responsibility and we cannot pay you in those instances. If you are concerned about the possibility of a shipment getting damaged or lost you can add insurance to your shipment, you must pay for the insurance yourself.
