Shipping Rates & Policies
Special Orders - Please contact us for product availability and ship times (1-877-ABBA-280).
ABBA Books is not only committed to the highest quality books at the lowest prices; our commitment extends to shipping quickly, in high quality, secure packaging.
ABBA Books ships your order within 24 hours of receipt, in the most convenient method for you.
We don't want you to have to worry about getting your text, and we especially don't want you worrying about the condition your text will arrive in. Each book is packed in a high-quality bubble envelope; paperback books with CD's are reinforced with cardboard inserts to make certain your text and accompanying materials arrive safely and intact. If your order of multiple books or large and awkward books wouldn't feasibly fit in an envelope, we pack them into cardboard boxes and cushion your order with shredded paper.
The variety of shipping rates and methods that we offer ensures that everyone will be able to receive their purchase just as quickly and conveniently as possible. It's our opinion that our transaction with you, our customer, is not over until you receive your order. To that end, we provide tracking numbers and customer support as long as our customers require, and encourage you to call or email us with any concerns you might have over the delivery of your package.
We ship world-wide to every place that can receive mail, in other words: If you can receive mail, you can get a package from Abba-Books. We verify all domestic addresses and send all of our orders via United States Postal Service to provide you with the best and most reliable service possible.

- *For the delivery method, 'Pick-Up', the customer must arrive to pick their delivery up within 5 business days and present a printed order confirmation receipt. If this is unavailable, a picture ID and the title of the book must be given as proof of identity. If the order cannot be picked up within 5 business days, a shipping fee will be applied to the order total and the text will be shipped on the first business day following the 5th business day deadline.
- Prices listed in parenthesis indicate the cost of adding an additional item for the same shipping method to an order. Example: 1 item at US Priority mail would cost the item price, plus $6.25 for shipping. 2 items at US Priority mail would cost the item prices plus $7.75 ($6.25 plus $1.50 for the additional item).
- For some international orders it is necessary to change the shipping method to an alternate. When this happens we will contact you to let you know the change. Generally these changes take place when the destination country does not support or allow the specified shipping method; however, shipping method can also be changed due to weight limit of the item being over what is allowed for the specified shipping method.
