APO and FPO
We ship to US Military destinations by USPS Priority Mail at no additional cost.

Standard Shipping Prices to Canada & Mexico:
Shipping to Canada starts at $15.95 and varies with the weight and size of the book. We try to find the lowest cost method to get your order to you in a timely manner.

Shipping Prices outside the US, Canada & Mexico
International shipping rates start at $18.95 and vary significantly with weight and size of package and from country to country. We try to find the lowest cost method to get you the book you want in a timely manner. We ship all of our overseas shipments by air. Neither US Postal Service nor any commercial carrier offers surface shipping for small parcels overseas any longer. We are fortunate to be located in the USA from where international shipping rates are the lowest in the world. If you ever are not happy with our choice of shipping method please let us know at sales@books4cars.com .

Domestic Shipping Methods
We provide three levels of shipping. Standard, Economy Air and Fastest Air. We interpret these 3 criteria in different ways depending on the size and weight of the shipment and the destination.

1) Standard: US mail or FedEx Ground depending on the size, weight, and destination.
2) Economy Air: Starting at $18.95, by USPS Air Mail or a mid-level Federal Express air guaranteed delivery service. It also causes your order to be processed with a higher level of internal priority.
3) Fastest Air: Starting at $39.95 fastest air shipping by Federal Express Overnight service within reasonable limits of cost and judgment. Fastest air orders are best submitted by phone for fastest service. (Not available to PO Boxes or APO’s)
