How much will I pay for the book box I'm purchasing?

You will pay the amounts listed on the product pages above (listed in US dollars) for your selected book box, which is the same pricing that those in the U.S. pay. In addition, you will pay for any shipping, duties, and taxes as described below.

How much will I pay in shipping, duties and taxes? 

Due to the extra costs associated with international shipping, all shipping fees, duties, and taxes will be added to the standard book box total in an invoice to be paid by the purchaser. 

Shipping Costs:

Duties & Taxes:

Shipments to the UK will not incur any additional duties or taxes.

Shipments to Canada will be duty free, but will incur an additional tax based on province. These taxes (anywhere between 5-15%) will be added to the invoice we will email to you.

If I've already received a book box in Canada and the UK from OurShelves and I want to order another book box, will I receive duplicate books?

No, part of our order intake process is confirming whether you've received a book box in the past, and if so, to ensure you do not receive duplicate books that you've already received in your first box. Thankfully, we have many fabulous expert-curated books to send to you!

To which countries do you ship?

In addition to the U.S., we are shipping the above offerings to Canada and the UK. We will expand to other countries in the future. If you’re outside of the U.S., Canada and the UK, let us know here so we know where to consider expanding next!

I'm excited to purchase a one-time book box outside the U.S. May I also purchase a subscription so I can continue to receive your books regularly?

We are exploring offering international subscriptions (in addition to the one-time boxes we currently offer). If you are interested in buying a subscription for the future, please also let us know in the brief order survey.

In the meantime, we open a window each quarter to take international orders so you may order one-time boxes each quarter until we launch our international subscriptions. You will not receive duplicate books. (See above.)
