This is a follow up on our other posts about the CPSIA. Effective February 10, 2009 the CPSIA law came into effect and there have been many blog posts and news articles written about it. We have found the posts at Overlawyered to be very imformative. You can also find information about the CPSIA at their website.

On February 10, 2009 we have added a Shipping Restriction for our Childrens Books, as follows: Effective February 10, 2009 Children’s Books will no longer be shipped to the USA. This change is being made because of the United States Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSIA). Countries and Territories included in the USA Region:

* American Samoa
* Guam
* Marshall Islands
* Micronesia, Federated States of
* Northern Mariana Islands
* Palau
* Puerto Rico
* United States of America
* United States Outlying Minor Islands
* Virgin Islands (US)

We have added “SHIPPING NOT AVAILABLE TO THE USA” to the description of the books effected by this shipping restriction.

It is already December 10th and Christmas is coming upon us very quickly. Many of the holiday shipping deadlines have now passed, see below:

• Austrialia - Surface - October 20th -Regular Air Mail - December 1 - Shipping Deadline Passed - orders will no longer arrive by Christmas

• Canada: Surface - December 12th /ExpressPost - December 20th.

If you are ordering a book and the shipping deadline has passed, you may want to consider giving a card with a note that their book is on the way.

Happy Holidays!!

Christmas is quickly approaching, only 19 calendar days (13 business days) left. Please keep these holiday shipping deadlines, from Canada, in mind if you are purchasing a book as a gift for Christmas:

• USA - Air Mail - December 10th, 2007.
• CANADA - Surface Mail - December 11, 2007
• CANADA - Air Mail - December 18, 2007.

Unfortunately if you are having your book shipped to an International destination, it will no longer arrive by Christmas. We suggest that you either try to order from a bookseller in your local area, or send the person you are buying the gift for a Christmas Card with a note advising them that their gift is on its way.

Happy Holidays to everyone from us at Trylinski Books!!

Here are some important dates to remember when ordering books for Christmas gifts:

Deadlines for shipping from Canada:

It is important to remember that mail tends to slow down at Christmas due to excess mail being shipped, and there may also be delays at Customs. So, it is best to give yourself lots of shipping time when shopping for gifts on the Internet.

We have recently made some changes to our website.

• We have lowered our surface shipping rates - Canada - USD$4.50; USA - USA$5.50 and International- USA$8.00.
• Save on shipping when your purchase more than 1 item.
• All parcels shipped to customers in Canada and the USA are shipped with a Tracking Number.
• If you require your book shipped air mail, you will need to order using the cheque/money order order form (in the shopping cart), and we will quote you the air mail rate, based on your location. It is just too difficult to list a flat rate for air mail, as depending on your location and the weight of your order, rates vary far too much.
• New section - Clearance Items. Here you will find books that we have for sale.
• FAQ page - we have written a FAQ page to answer some of the questions we are frequently asked.
• Under our Shipping Tab you will find information on how we pack our books.

If you have any questions on any of our books, or are looking for a specific book and do not see it on our site, please contact us via our Contact Us form found on the Contact Us tab.

We add new books weekly, so be sure to check back often, as you may never know when you will find that favourite childhood book, or favourite author’s books.
