A Quick Note About Our Prices

 

We know everyone is feeling the pinch with cost-of-living pressures right now, and we’ve been working hard to keep our prices as steady as possible. As a small business, we do our very best to keep our prices fair. Like many small businesses, we’re seeing the cost of products continuing to rise. For us, this comes from a mix of things—overseas exchange rates, (most of our book stock comes from overseas), higher freight charges, and the smaller discounts we receive from wholesalers compared to big chains. On top of that, pay-later service fees also add to the challenge.

 

When the dollar fluctuates, or when shipping costs and product costs rise, the price we’re charged for new stock also changes. Every order to replenish stock can bring different costs, which means we sometimes need to adjust our prices to match. We’ve worked hard to absorb as much of this as possible, but each new order can bring new prices, and sometimes we need to adjust ours to keep up. We always keep changes to a minimum, and we remain committed to offering you the best value we can.

 

Please know we only change prices when it’s unavoidable, and we’re so grateful for your support in helping us keep on doing what we love, and keep on bringing you the books you love.
