If you don't put your e-mail address in when you post, know that the first person who responded to your post is the LAST post underneath yours. Sellers may wish to send items C.O.D. to insure that they get their money. Alternatively, sellers often ask to receive a check or money order prior to sending out the materials. Many sellers will ask that the check they receive clear the bank before they send out the materials.
Communication is the key to avoiding misunderstandings.
Hang onto the e-mail addresses of anyone you are doing business with, so you can contact them later if needed. Shipping times vary greatly. Many sellers send via Book Rate, and depending on locations, it can take from 1 to 6 weeks to get your books. Remember that not all sellers can get out to the post office right away, and it may be appropriate to send a gentle reminder asking whether they've sent out your order yet. Please don't use ALL CAPS when writing your subject in your posts.
