Collection: FAQ

Media mail shipping is a flat $4 for orders less than $40. We offer free media mail shipping for orders of $40 or more. USPS Priority mail is faster (3-5 business days) and is calculated at checkout.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are verstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. The books may also have a remainder mark, though we try to indicate that on each book page.

A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not.

If you are a tax exempt customer, please email us your signed state's tax exempt certificate (with account email) to natalie@christianbookbag.com prior to your order so we can mark your account as tax exempt within 24 hours. If you buy items both personally and for your church, please maintain a separate account for your tax exempt purchases, as your entire account will be marked as tax exempt. (State sales tax laws are changing rapidly. If you do not see your state listed, you may still owe use tax directly to your state, but we qualify for the small seller exemption and are not required to collect and remit taxes in these states.)
