If a book originally came with a dust jacket, CD or DVD it must accompany the book when shipped to us. Computer manuals and language courses originally issued with a CD will not be accepted without the CD. All CD’s and DVD’s must be in working condition.

Ex-library books are accepted but must be in reasonable condition.

Excessive writing, underlining, and/or highlighting or ‘reminder’ marks on page edges may also result in a reduction of the quoted price or the book being rejected.

A small amount of writing, underlining or highlighting of pages is usually okay, as long as it is on fewer than 20% of the book’s pages.

Discs must not be cracked, dented, have deep scratches or other damage. Light surface scratches are usually acceptable providing it does not impact on the discs ability to play. We require that all the original packaging, artwork, booklets and instructions are present and these should not be defaced or damaged. Cases may have light surface scratches but shall be complete and unbroken.

All orders are subject to our acceptance at our sole discretion. All items are checked by our quality control team. Webuybooks.co.uk will not make payment for any item not meeting the condition guidelines set out on the website, the Webuybooks.co.uk decision on this matter is final. Items that fail the quality process or ones sent that have not been included in the original trade can be returned at the expense of the customer as set out in ‘Return Postage Costs’ below. Any items which the customer does not wish to be returned will be recycled responsibly.

## Return postage costs

| CD | DVD | GAME | BOOK* |
| -- | --- | ---- | ----- |
| £1.00 | £1.00 | £1.00 | £2.40 |

**If the book is over 1KG, the postage costs may be more and the seller will be informed of this in advance.*

Should Webuybooks.co.uk not receive any response within 3 working days of the initial email, a phone call will be made to the seller and if necessary a message will be left. If Webuybooks.co.uk receives no response within 24 hours of this phone call the cost of damaged or missing items will be removed from the offer and damaged items responsibly recycled.

Item Condition Guidelines

Need Money in a Hurry? We Now Offer Next Day Payments!

Following our simple guidelines will ensure your items reach us in the condition you sent them. Simply follow our guide below and you’ll have your items packed in no time!

## Use the correct number of boxes

Pack your items into the correct number of boxes as determined by our clever box calculator. When creating multiple offers please do not mix offers in boxes and ensure the label affixed corresponds to the contents. This means we can easily track your items – ensuring you get paid faster.

Each box needs a separate label, extra labels can be found in your account.

## Box sizes

Your box should weigh no more than 15kg and be no more than 120cm in length. If you add the two shortest dimensions and multiply them by two, the total calculation should be under 225cm.

## High quality packaging

Whatever you decide to use to package your books – make sure it’s strong and durable. Corrugated cardboard is a great choice as they’re cushioned, and heavy duty.

## Secure your items

Bubble Wrap is the ideal material to secure your items in the box and prevent damage. Try to pack heavier items first and don’t use a box that’s too large – your items will move around and could damage one another. Use strapping where possible to seal and secure your box.

## Double check your items

It might sound obvious but make sure you’re sending all the items that are listed in your selling basket.

## Remove any existing labels

Remove any labels, hazardous materials indicators, and other previous shipment labels. Ensure your label is attached securely and the barcode is not obscured by tape. This will allow your box to be easily tracked – meaning you get paid quicker!

## Post within 7 days

Prices offered for books, CD’s and DVD’s remain in place for 7 days, so to make sure you get the cash you’re expecting, please post your items within this time frame.



- ## Packaging Dont's
- 
- ❌  **Badly packaged**
- Don’t use flimsy, or damaged boxes as they may receive further damage whilst in transit. Ensure the box is in good shape and not worn out.
- 
- ❌  **Label as fragile**
- Labelling your boxes as ‘fragile’ or ‘handle with care’ aren’t a substitute for careful packing.
- 
- ❌  **Don’t allow contents to move**
- Choose the appropriate size of box for your items, try not to under-fill boxes (these could collapse) and over-filled ones might explode.
