The Book Exchange usually has enough books on hand to fill a 20 ft. shipping container, which holds approximately 450-500 boxes (12,000-15,000 books). Of course, you can send less than a whole container-full.
Guidelines for shipping books:
- The group doing the shipping makes its own shipping arrangements. We provide the books and help pack them for shipment.
- 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.
Note: The Global Book Exchange reserves the right to retain certain books for local use.
