3. We will send you the prices of the books, shipping rates, and the estimated arrival time. Please take note some websites charge sales tax and shipping fees. Other websites have free shipping but have a minimum required purchase.

4. Once you confirm your order, we will send you an invoice and the payment details. We require a 50% down payment on the total invoice price.

5. After confirming your payment, that’s the time we will process your order. We will send you the screenshot of your order, including the transaction number.

6. The estimated arrival time from a seller to a US address is roughly 8-15 days, and from the US to PH is 2-3 months. We will update you occasionally so you will know the whereabouts of your orders, including sending photos of the books.

7. We will contact you via email or on your Facebook account if the books are already at our store in Valenzuela City. Please update us if there are any changes to your Facebook account or email address so we can notify you immediately once your order is ready for shipping.

**NOTE: NO CANCELLATION OF ORDER; WE WILL NOT REFUND YOUR DOWN PAYMENT ONCE THE ORDER HAS BEEN MADE.
