The Book Exchange usually has enough books on hand to fill a shipping container with K-12 schoolbooks and other books for young people. Of course, you can send less than a whole container-full.
Interested in shipping books?
- The group that wants to do the shipping makes its own shipping arrangements. We provide the books and help pack them for shipment.
- A 20 ft. container usually holds about 450-500 boxes; about 12,000-15,000 books.
- Children’s reading books (i.e. books other than textbooks) are always in demand, so please don’t plan on filling an entire container with them.
- The Book Exchange reserves the right to retain certain books for local use only, but most will usually be available for shipping.
