Payment
All books are subject to prior sale. We accept all major credit cards, checks, money orders, Zelle and PayPal, as well as purchase orders from institutions. Washington residents who are not exempt will be charged sales tax.
Advance payment may be requested for orders. Established customers, institutions, and booksellers known to us may request shipment with invoice (net 30). We offer reciprocal courtesies to the trade.
Returns
All books ordered online are returnable for any reason within 21 days of receipt, as long as they remain in the original condition. Stellar Books & Ephemera will pay return shipping if a book is misdescribed. The buyer is generally responsible for return shipping if the book is returned for other reasons.
Shipping
All of our books are carefully and securely packaged to avoid damage during shipping.
Media Mail, which can take 5-15 business days (how long generally depends on the distance between us and you) is $8.00 for the first book and $3.50 for each additional book.
Priority Mail generally takes 3-5 business days. For light items such as pamphlets and small books that can be adequately protected from damage and still fit, we will ship using rigid flat envelopes. Heavier books and/or books requiring more protection will be shipped in a box. For very large items or sets we may need to request additional postage. If you are uncertain which is appropriate for your item, feel free to ask in advance. Orders via priority mail will be charged at cost.
