We can ship one time, weekly, or monthly. (But let’s hope monthly won’t be needed.) Most orders should ship for less than $10 and for large orders shipping will be FREE!
If you are able to travel but want to maintain the recommended six feet distance from others, we will be offering our Road Side Pick Up service. Simply call in advance and let us know what you’d like to purchase. Working as fast as the situation will allow, we’ll call you back when your order is ready for pick up. Please anticipate some wait time. We can take payment over the phone with your credit card, send you a PayPal invoice, or accept exact payment in cash. When you arrive outside the store give us a call and we’ll bring your books or games outside to you in your car.
