Ordering books from a Turkish store

Read the language of the text, the edition, the page count and the binding. Enter the receiving-centre address with your box number at checkout, and if the store rejects your card send the links with Buy for Me, and the parcel stays free at the warehouse for 30 days.

How books reach Syria

They travel by land for about two weeks after the shipment leaves and are delivered in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Hama. Check the covers and edges for damp and folds, confirm the titles and editions against your order, and photograph any damage before you sign.

Heavy, so priced by weight

Books are heavy for their size, so the shipping price is usually counted by weight; gather your order into one parcel. A medium carton (60×40×40 cm, up to 15 kg) with a reference price of 15 to 20 US dollars by region, customs excluded, holds a number of books, and for bookshops a large order is split into smaller cartons.

Packing and content

Ask for books to be bagged against moisture and packed tightly in a strong carton so covers and corners do not bend. Some countries review printed content, so choose well-known titles, and ask for titles and condition to be checked at the warehouse before closing. Charges may apply in Syria by value and quantity, and commercial quantities need a separate quote.

Language, edition and binding before ordering

A book is chosen by its language and edition: read in the description the language of the text (Turkish, Arabic or other), the edition number and page count, the binding (hardcover or paperback), whether it is a translation, and the publisher, so you do not receive a copy in a language you cannot read.

Transit, delivery and price by country

Syria: books arrive by land after about two weeks in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Hama, and books are heavy for their size so the shipping price is usually counted by weight, and they need protection from damp. Jordan: land suits Amman and Irbid, and for bookshops ordering in quantity it is best to split the load into small cartons so that no carton is too heavy to unload. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman: air from Istanbul is counted by weight and can be costly for a large quantity of books, so compare sea freight when it is not urgent, and check the rules for importing printed material in your country with the importer. Charges may apply in each country by value and quantity, and bookshops get a separate quote.
