Despite the tremendous growth in the demand for digital books in recent times, there is a niche market for printed books. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The cost to ship printed books depends on several variables, such as the weight and size, the shipping zone, and so on. Here is a handy step-by-step guide on how to ship and how much does it cost to ship books.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The first and foremost step is to find suitable packaging to secure your book for shipment. Polymailers and padded envelopes are ideal for lightweight books. We recommend using boxes with sufficient packing support, when shipping multiple books in one shipment. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Shipping books internationally can be tricky business. It is a long way to go until they reach their final destination.

Fill empty spaces with packing fillers, such as packing peanuts to ensure your books don\u2019t shift in the box during transit.

We recommend using an online shipping rate calculator, such as this one. The information you will need to provide are the dimensions, weight, and destination of your package. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t If your book is a hardcover with an outer leaf, consider removing them to reduce the weight of the shipment. For single books, we recommend using a padded envelope. These are great for lightweight shipments and keep the costs low due to its low weight. You can also consider shipping thin books, such as pamphlets, brochures, and comics in envelopes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t For multiple books, you may want to use a sturdy cardboard box. Fitting multiple books in an envelope may not be a great idea as damages can happen in transit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tHow to ship books<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
