Please check my profile before mooching for important information. Bio:
About me: 16-year-old from the south of England with a book habit. When I'm not reading, I enjoy music (playing and listening) and wasting time online.
Books: Almost all of my books are secondhand. Many have come from other bookmoochers. I never send out a book I wouldn't be happy to receive, but please be aware that unless otherwise specified, books are generally in read condition and in the case of paperbacks, the spines are normally broken. I'm pretty good about adding condition notes but if you have any questions, just ask.
House: non-smoking household with one cat (though she doesn't read many of my books). I can't vouch for where else my books may have been but if they smell of smoke or anything, it'll be listed in the notes.
Domestic shipping: 2nd class, normally posted the next working day.
International shipping: I am willing and able to send some books internationally. I send air mail if the price is reasonable and surface mail otherwise (in which case I'll let you know before I ship). Air mail normally posted the next working day. Surface mail might take a few days as I have to go to the post office. Please be aware that it is the *quantity* of international requests I have that determines whether or not I can afford to ship internationally and not the size of the individual book. If I reject your international mooch and you'd like to use a BM angel, just let me know and I'll reserve it for you so that you have time to do that.
Here's where I've sent my books:
USA: CT, WV, PA, TX, NY, OR, ME, NC, VA, IA, AZ
UK
Philippines
South Africa
Germany
Italy
Japan
France
Canada
Netherlands
Iceland
New Zealand
Israel
Australia
Packaging: I normally post books in bubble envelopes. I reuse envelopes wherever possible and you should too! If you have a problem with receiving a book in an envelope that's been around the block a few times, as I know a few people do, then shame on you and don't mooch from me or you may be disappointed. I always make sure that books are securely packaged and regularly defer to new/once-used envelopes when posting overseas, so no need to worry about whether or not the book will survive the journey :)
Moochcards: I have a stack of the UK moochcards (which are subtly different to those from the US: minorly different size, different picture on the back). I normally send out a couple with every book, but if you'd like some more to hand out, especially if they're not available in your country, I'm happy to throw in some extras - just let me know and I'll send them with your book.
Anything else: feel free to ask! I check my email daily and will get back to you ASAP. |
