Billing and Payment

How can I pay for my purchases?

We accept PayPal and major credit cards processed through your PayPal account. We also accept wire transfers, money orders, bank checks and personal checks, and ship when your payment clears with our bank. We will offer a nominal discount for payment by wire transfer or check, and for our higher priced items we offer payment plans. All books are considered the property of Meier and Sons until payment has been cleared.

Please note, in addition to shipping within the United States, we currently ship internationally to Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany. For other international orders outside of those listed, please first inquire about your purchase by contacting us at customerservice@meierandsons.com

Is the credit card information I submit secure?

To provide a safe and secure shopping experience, we use PayPal to process online payments. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the website or to and from PayPal, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our systems.

Please remember to sign off your account and close all browser windows when you have finished visiting our website. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing your computer or the computer you are using is in a public space (e.g., library, office, Internet café, etc.).

Since ordinary email is not secure, we cannot accept orders sent via email. For your security, please do not use your credit card information in any email you send to us.

Cancellation

Can I change or cancel an order once it is placed?

Because we generally ship our items within 2 business days from receipt of order, we are unable to process changes to or cancellations of orders. If you wish to return an item, please refer to our Returns Policy.

Shipping

How will my order be packaged and shipped?

All items are carefully packed to prevent damage in transit. We ship with recycled materials whenever possible.

What shipping options do you offer?

Domestic shipping within the United States: We use United States Postal Service (Priority Mail or Express), and UPS ground. All books are shipped with full insurance which is calculated at the rate of $1.00 insurance fee per $100 of value.

International shipping outside the United States: We may use USPS (Priority Mail and Express), however for books over $2500 we use UPS Express Mail. All books are shipped with full insurance, which is calculated at the rate of $1.00 insurance fee per $100 of value. Insurance for international shipments is purchased through a private insurance carrier.

We are able to ship only to confirmed addresses on PayPal accounts, and billing addresses on credit card accounts.
