Policies for refund, exchange,
cancellation for books: Double-check your order before you
make your purchase so there is less hassle for all of us. We are
charged $25 for credit card returns by the credit card
processing company so all refunds are accompanied by a fee to
the customer of at least $25. Exchanges might be possible if
communicated and confirmed before the order is sent, but no
assurance can be made; again, customers should be sure of their
purchases when ordering. Canceled orders are charged $25 fee
from the credit card company. We do not accept returns on books
because what is being sold and purchased is intellectual
property, which is delivered in the form of a book. Once the
book has arrived, the information has arrived and therefore the
customer has received in full the property therein. Furthermore,
since the books sold on this website are textbooks used in
college courses, they are not returnable. If you want to buy
from a company that allows returns, please buy our books from
Amazon.com.\
-
Privacy policy: This information
applies to OptimalHealthResearch.com and all of its directly
affiliated websites: We do not collect any information about you
other than what you type into the fields, such as your email
address and your comments--if you have joined one of our
newsletter lists, you did so voluntarily and can be unlisted at
any time. We keep a record of purchases and shipping addresses
to ensure that packages are sent to the right address with the
right products. That is it. We have no intention, interest, or
time to invade anyone's privacy, and we do not sell, rent, or
loan information to anyone for any reason whatsoever.
-
Shipping and handling: The
automated charge for "shipping" includes the costs for "shipping
and handling." Shipping costs include the box, the tape, the
label, the product protection such as foam, wrapping, etc and
the costs we incur for obtaining these. Handling costs include
curriers, employee salaries, etc. The majority of orders are
shipped via USPS Priority Mail. International postage rates are
calculated automatically; adjustments and corrections are made
at time of processing. Buyers need to pay for shipping in order
for purchases to be processed: The price of the books covers the
cost of the books, but does not include
shipping/handling/courier/customs charges. In order to have the
books shipped, any applicable shipping/handling/courier/customs
charges must be paid, and these are calculated automatically at
the time of check-out and payment. Purchasers are welcome select
"no shipping charge" under the 3 following circumstances: 1)
purchaser is picking-up books, 2) previous arrangements have
been made for personal delivery/pick-up, 3) purchaser is making
bulk order for 20 or more books. Otherwise, shipping/handling
costs must be paid at time of check-out in order for the
purchase to be processed and shipped. Orders placed without
payment of shipping charges will be cancelled. Any return of
books is allowed only if 1) books are returned in re-sellable
condition preferably with the original seal on the box not
broken, and 2) our original shipping costs will be deducted from
the amount of any refund. These are the "terms of agreement"
with purchases from this site.
To which countries have we
shipped our books?
Ireland
United Kingdom
Kuwait
Brazil
Portugal
Denmark
Switzerland
Australia
Canada
France
Spain
... and of course all over the USA.
-
Accurate address to be provided by
purchaser: Purchasers are responsible for providing an
accurate mailing address serviceable by the US Postal Service or
international postal offices. Nearly all packages are shipped
via USPS Priority Mail and the addresses are confirmed via USPS
delivery verification. If an unserviceable address is provided
by purchaser and this problem is recognized by USPS, one email
will be sent to purchaser to verify/correct the mailing address.
If response/correction is not received by time of shipment, then
the address used will be the address that was provided by the
purchaser, and books may be shipped by media mail since USPS
Priority Mail requires a verifiable address. You can verify your
mailing address here; if you want us to use a non-verifiable
address please request this at time of check-out and note that
this may result in a delay in the receipt of your product(s).
USPS Priority Mail: In order to ship books faster and more
safely, we use USPS Priority Mail (rather than media mail),
which has the additional benefit of allowing you to track your
orders. Rarely, if more economical, we will use FedEx or UPS.
