Order Processing

Exceptions for Condition Issues
Every book receives a final inspection before packing. If a book does not match its advertised condition, we will hold the affected book and email you with the details and available options.
You will have three business days to respond, with the exact deadline included in our email. This hold may extend our normal processing time. We will not ship the affected book without your approval.
If you accept the book in its disclosed condition, we will ship it within 1–2 business days of receiving your approval. If you decline or do not respond by the deadline, we will cancel the affected item and refund its purchase price, applicable tax, and any original shipping charge attributable to it. If it is the only item in your order, we will refund the entire order.
Refunds will be issued to your original payment method within 10 business days of cancellation.
Estimated Delivery Time
Once shipped, most orders arrive within an estimated 5–8 business days via USPS Media Mail. Delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed. Holidays, weather, and postal delays may extend delivery time.
Tracking Your Order
Tracking information is sent to the email address provided at checkout when your shipping label is created. Please allow time for USPS to receive and scan your package before tracking updates appear.
Shipping Address Changes
Please check your shipping address carefully before placing your order. If you notice an error, email donnasbookcorner@gmail.com as soon as possible.
We will make every effort to update the address before shipment, but changes cannot be guaranteed once an order has shipped.
