A little preparation helps

Before you send anything

Quotes are provisional, so use the condition guide and check that the physical item matches the barcode you entered.

Find the barcode

Books usually show their ISBN beside the back-cover barcode. UPC/EAN barcodes are commonly on the case or box for discs and games.

Pack with care

Use a sturdy box, keep items from moving in transit, and follow the packaging instructions shown for your selected route.

Expect a check

The quote is not final acceptance. We inspect identity, completeness and condition before payment is completed.
