To Ship Books Overseas

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?

  1. The group that wants to do the shipping makes its own shipping arrangements. We provide the books and help pack them for shipment.
  2. A 20 ft. container usually holds about 450-500 boxes; about 12,000-15,000 books.
  3. 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.
  4. The Book Exchange reserves the right to retain certain books for local use only, but most will usually be available for shipping.
