Shipping

You should insure your package regardless of which carrier you use.  I will send the completed book back to you via the carrier and method most convenient for you. 

The cost of return shipping will be added to the cost of the project.

It is preferable that you mail your book, or other item, to my post office box.  The Post Office will then hold it securely until I can pick it up.  Only packages mailed through the US Postal Service can be delivered to post office boxes. 

Of course, you can use other methods of shipping, like UPS or

FedEx, but you should let me know so that we can have them deliver on a day when I am here.  They tend to leave items on door steps if no one is in.

Generally, unless I hear from you I will try to return the book via the same carrier and method you used.  If you insured your book, then I will insure it as well.  If you asked for a signature, then I try to do the same.

 

Packing

Pack your book in a box or padded envelope, using additional packing material such as bubble wrap.  If small pieces of the binding have broken off, place them in a labeled envelope.  

Please be sure to include a note containing your name, address, phone number, email address and any other relevant information.

Clients are always welcome to bring books to the bindery.  Call or email for address and directions.  We are on the west side of Panther Peak very near the Northern edge of Saguaro National Park West.  I’ll be happy to show you the bindery, and then you can go for a walk in the park.

About shipping your book
