~~~ PRICING ~~~
All prices NET to everyone. No special trade discounts to dealers.
Payment by check or money order
or, through Paypal, by
Mastercard, Visa, American Express or Discover.
~ SHIPPING RATES ~
The U.S. Postal Service raised its rates in May 2007,
but I decided not to pass that increase on to my customers.
Therefore my shipping rates have remained unchanged
in over ten years.
Media Mail: $4.00 first book, $1 each subsequent book.
Priority: $6.00 first book, $1.50 each subsequent book.
Oversized books may be charged at higher rate.
(We
will notify you before charging you.)
Priority
Mail is NOT available for Battery Press titles.
OVERSEAS ORDERS
will be individually assessed.
When I receive the order, I wrap the book and take
it to
the post office to be weighed and to learn the cheapest
methods of sending. I add a
slight amount to cover shipping materials, then
quote prices of available options to the customer,
who can then choose.
NOTE: as of 14 May 2007,
due to changes in shipping rates & policies
on the part of the U.S. Postal Service,
surface mail for overseas orders is no longer available.

ALL DOMESTIC DELIVERIES ARE GUARANTEED
You are not charged extra for insurance. If a parcel is insured, it is at my cost. Delivery of your parcel
is guaranteed whether I insure it or not. If you do not receive
your package, you will receive a full refund, including postage
both ways. If your book arrives damaged, email me first, describing
the damage in detail. Then send the book back to me. If the actual
damage matches your description, you will receive a full refund,
including postage both ways. All my books are sent with Delivery
Confirmation. When I have sent your book off, I will contact you
with the tracking number and the USPS URL where you can keep track
of your parcel's progress, if you care to.
|
~~~ RETURNS ~~~
In case of damage or non-delivery, see above. If the book you
receive does not match my description of it, notify me first
and describe the discrepancy between the book you received
and my description. If I have failed to describe it accurately,
you will receive a full refund, including postage both ways. If,
on the other hand, I have described the book accurately,
but you decide for whatever reason that you do not
want the book after
all, you may still return the book for a full refund,
minus postage both ways,,
but you must notify me first by email, and you must do so
within ten days of receiving the book.
After ten days, no returns are accepted.
When returning a book, wrap it carefully in the same materials I sent it in.
If the returned book is damaged because you did not wrap it carefully,
with adequate padding, I will deduct for the damage from your refund.
If, on the other hand, you wrapped it well but the book was damaged
anyway,
you will receive the full refund. |
All credit card transactions are handled through Paypal. You can use your card without a Paypal account, If you

MONONGAHELA BOOKS is PayPal Verified
Clicking on the Paypal Verified Logo which is displayed throughout our website will confirm our current verified
status.
Unfortunately, you must log in to Paypal to see this information. Many merchants, including myself,
strongly feel that this information should be made immediately available to every customer, whether they are a member of
Paypal or not. Many of us have expressed our displeasure on this point to Paypal, but to date they have not
seen fit to alter their policy. So my apologies to all who click on the Paypal Verified logo on this site and are
directed to a log-in page instead of being sent directly to the Verification page. For your convenience, the Verification Page
for Monongahela Books is reproduced here. |
Monongahela Books is PayPal Verified
PayPal's Verification System allows you to learn more about users before you pay them through PayPal. Verify that the information below is consistent with the business, organization or person you wish to pay.
Email: skipper@labyrinth.net
Status: Verified
Account Creation Date: Jul 3, 2006
What it Means to be Verified
To become Verified, a PayPal member in the United States must provide us with proof that he or she has opened an account at a bank or other financial institution. Because these institutions are required by law to screen account holders, PayPal's verification process increases security when you pay parties you do not know. Please note that PayPal's verification system does not constitute an endorsement of a member, nor a guarantee of a member's business practices. You should always consider other indicators when evaluating members, including length of PayPal membership and reputation scores (on eBay or other auction sites, if applicable).

~~~ PRIVACY ~~~
I do not give out information about my customers>to anyone for any reason. Period. Moreover, as
all credit card transactions are handled through Paypal, I never see your credit card information, so
it is not stored on my site.
~~ PAYING BY CREDIT CARD ~~
Credit card orders (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover) are handled through Paypal. Simply click on the
"Go To Payments" button, and follow the instructions. You do not need a Paypal account to
use a credit card. As the merchant, I will not see your card information at all. The transaction
will be handled entirely on Paypal's secure site. |
|
If I do not personally confirm your order within 24 hours,
feel free to contact me by Email. Even if I am travelling,
I am able to check my email several times a day.
My email address is
skipper@labyrinth.net. |
~ PAYING BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER ~
If you prefer to pay by check or money order, simply click on the "Go to Payments" option. I will respond to
your order with an email informing you of the amount including
shipping, so that you know the correct figure to write on your check.
I will ship your parcel the same day I receive your check, if possible,
or the following business day. I will let you know when your check
has arrived and when your parcel is in the
mail. |
REPEAT CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE THEIR ORDERS
SHIPPED IMMEDIATELY.
They will not have to wait until I receive their check.
Checks and money orders should be made out to, and sent to:
MONANGAHELA BOOKS
Box 255
Morgantown, West Virginia, 26507
~~ BOOKS ON BACK-ORDER ~~
On occasion, with new books obtained directly from publishers,
a particular title may be temporarily out of stock.
In such cases I will contact you immediately and let you know
there will be a delay. If you wish to cancel your order,
that will be fine, but if you do not mind waiting, your card
will not be charged until the book is sent to you, If the
back-ordered title is a single order, you will be charged
the usual postage, but if it is part of a larger order, the
rest of which has already sent to you, you will only be
charged $1.00 postage for the late book (sent Media Mail).
I try to update this site daily, so that all items offered for sale
are still available, but occasionally, if two orders for a single
item come through at about the same time, one buyer will be
disappointed. If this happens to you, be advised that I keep a
record of wants, and will notify you if and when I can
find another copy. |
