Terms of Sale

All of our inventory is always discounted 5 percent. Thank you for visiting Rural Hours.

Payment

We accept all major credit cards via Square on our site. PayPal by arrangement. Please note that international buyers are responsible for any additional duties, taxes, or fees required by their country.

Packaging

We are committed to recycling packaging material (and sometimes even Scotch tape): Your item(s) will arrive in a clean and sturdy reused box unless you request otherwise. You can get a sense of who we're buying from this way, too.

Shipping

USPS media mail shipping in the U.S. is always free. Priority USPS shipping is free on regular purchases over $300. Shipping by private carrier is available at cost upon request.

Returns

We want our customers to be completely satisfied with their purchases. All books are returnable in the same condition within 30 days of delivery for any reason. Please package your book(s) carefully if sending a return.

Miscellany

Reciprocal terms to the trade. We value our colleagues and the discounts (and many lessons) they've given us in recent years.

Monthly Sale prices are net and no further discounts are available. 

We strive to announce New Arrivals and our Monthly Sale around the middle of each month. Please subscribe to our mailing list for notifications.
