How
to calculate International Shipping?
The International Shipping consists of three
possibilities. These are as follows:
-
Only
Books or only Movies are ordered.
(Rate
for First Book + (No. of books ordered - 1) X Additional Book)
-
Only
Music(CDs / Cassettes) are ordered.
(Rates
for First 3 CDs / Cassettes + [(No. of CDs / Cassettes
ordered - 3) / 3] x Additional 3 CDs / Cassettes)
Note: If result value of [(No.
of CDs / Cassettes ordered - 3) / 3] is negative, then this would be considered as "ZERO". If
the result value is positive decimal no., then it must be rounded off
to next higher whole no. i.e. "0.2" will be considered as "1", "1.8" as "2" & "-1" as "0".
-
If you buy both Books as well as
Music/Movies.
[Rate for First Book + (No. Of Books - 1) x
Additional Book] + [{(No. Of Music/Movie CDs/Cassettes) -
(No. Of Books -
1)} / 3 x
(Additional item)]
Note: {(No. Of
Music/Movies) - (
No. of Books - 1)} / 3 would never be negative, if it is
negative, then this would be considered as "ZERO". If this value is
positive decimal no., then it must be rounded off to
next higher whole no. i.e. "0.2" will be considered as "1", "1.8" as "2" & "-1" as
"0".
This means you are enjoying free shipping on a music/movie CD/Cassette on every additional
purchase of book. i.e. If you buy two books, you will get free shipping on one music/movie
CD/Cassette, if three, free shipping on two music/movie CD/Cassette. |
| What shipping rates are charged in case of bulk orders? New
Upon completion of your
order, an estimated shipping cost is added to your
subtotal. When your order is pulled, it is weighed and
the actual shipping cost is then calculated. If an
adjustment needs to be made to your order total, it is
done at this time and your credit card is also adjusted
up or down accordingly. At the point of shipping you
will receive an email which details the order totals.
