- dmix 8y ago> $28,421,885 Funds raised for literacy & libraries Woah, that's cool. I'm definitely using this site. How can ‘they afford the free shipping? Edit: And they ship free to Canada... no "free shipping" thing ever works to Canada unless you spend a lot of money.
- Simulacra 8y agoI think they can afford free shipping via a couple of ways. First, there's book rate with the USPS that's used to ship books and reading materials at a discount. Second, since they're a nonprofit, albeit a B-Corp, they might qualify for an additional discount since they're a volume shipper.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 8y agoI bought used textbooks from them years ago on Ebay (this was right as Amazon was getting popular/starting to dominate the market of online textbook sales) and I was rather satisfied. Got exactly what I ordered exactly in the condition stated in a reasonable time frame for a student-friendly price. Can't ask for much more than that.
