===========================================================================================================================================

When you place a book order from MS Book and Mineral Company which totals $100 or less, it will be shipped domestically via the U.S.Post Office using media mail.  Large books or heavy book orders will be shipped in U.S. Postal Service flat rate boxes which are quite economical.  Large, heavy rock orders will be shipped in heavy duty boxes from U-line which I will reinforce with cardboard, wood, or styrofoam.  I commonly use lots of tape and good packing material to secure all packages.

Valuable items and fragile minerals, will be packed with good, safe packing material and will be double boxed for safe travel.  If you order tiny rock orders, like faceting rough, first class USPS boxes will be used.  Please let me know if you need items quickly and I will use either USPS priority mail or UPS or Fedex. Orders with a value of $300 to $500 or extremely valuable and/or non-replaceable items will always be shipped by UPS or Fedex.   Good news:  A new UPS location is out to open about a half mile away from out location here is Lake Charles!

Additional comment concerning the shipping of minerals:  We now use thin plastic layers now cover minerals to better protect them from damage.  This thin layer of plastic is better than cotton or some other fibrous material because it is a pain to buy a mineral and have to spend hours cleaning your new specimen of some fibrous material and sometimes a mineral can actually be damaged when removing the fibrous material wrapped around minerals. Cotton or some other packing material is used around the plastic layer to secure the minerals inside the inner box.
