When
filling up the online order form, a customer can choose
between :
Standard Shipping
This usually takes 2 to 4
business days to deliver consignments across
India depending on the geographical location and
conditions.
 Improved
International
Shipping
You can have orders delivered around the world. It usually takes
3 to 6 business days
to ship consignments, depending on the geographical
location and conditions. Now at much reduced rates.
Introducing
Econo-US shipping
You
can now take advantage of this economy shipping to
the United States. Through this option you can save
upto 22% of the standard International shipping.
The locations are divided into 6 ZONES. Each
Zone has a different Freight Rate. Click
here to find out which Zone a particular country
falls into. Incase the country is not listed, mail
us at services@firstandsecond.com
and we will try our best to help you.
The rates for each Zone are given in the table
below. All rates are in Indian Rupees.
-
We accept and ship orders all over the world but there are few titles which can only be sold and shipped to SAARC countries i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Maldives and Afganistan.
-
The
actual time taken to deliver an order depends on the
availability of
items ordered, the time taken by payments to reach
us and the shipping method selected by the customer.
Payment Realisation Time +
Longest Item Availability + Shipping Time = Total
Delivery Time.
-
When
an order contains several items with varying status,
the customer can instruct us to Wait till all items become available before
shipping (minimises shipping cost).
Or Ship items, as they become available (at extra
shipping cost). In this case every individual item is shipped separately.
Naturally, this method involves multiple
shipping and consequently recurring shipping costs.
-
We
make every effort to send similarly available items
together, though we cannot guarantee it. We may
occasionally send items in separate boxes even if a
customer chooses to wait until all items are
available. This will not affect the shipping charge.
-
We
will send an e-mail as soon as an order is shipped
out. This will also inform a customer about his
order as well as when he can expect his order to
arrive at his shipping address.
-
We take great care to check and recheck your order items
before we ship them to you. However, should you ever get
a wrong item, please inform us by
sending an e-mail to services@firstandsecond.com
.
We will then direct
our courier
to deliver
the correct item
at your shipping address as well as collect
the wrongly sent item
at the time of delivery.
-
The
shipping charges are as per the following table.
All rates are in Indian Rupees and US$.
-
The Shipping rates given below
are applicable for books and music/movie cassettes/CDs.
Note: If music/movie cassettes/CDs are bought
along with a book, you will only pay shipping for the
book.
-
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.
