Consignments 2025

GUIDELINES FOR CONSIGNMENT ORDERS:

Before Your Event:

• We prefer a lead time of four weeks and no less than two weeks before you need the books. Longer lead time means more of your selections available in time for your event.
• The person in charge of your meeting's bookstore or book table must first apply for a consignment order by emailing us at bookstore@fgcquaker.org with the following information:

1. 1. name and phone number of your book table coordinator
   2. email that will be used when placing the order.
   3. shipping address 
   4. name and dates of the event
   5. window of dates when books can be received there (important for rental facilities)
   6. billing information and treasurer for your meeting

• Create your order 
  • Compile your order by going to QuakerBooks.org  and placing the desired books and quantity in your cart. We can help you select your books.
  • We suggest you look at New and Recent Arrivals, The Meetinghouse Bookshelf, and other collections you think your meeting would appreciate. You can also just browse through the store. 
  • To request a book that does not appear at QuakerBooks.org, contact Audrey Greenhall, Bookstore Manager, via email (audreyg@fgcquaker.org) and she will let you know if the book can be provided. 
  • Any items priced under $7 are nonreturnable. 
  • Faith & Play Materials Kits are nonreturnable.
  • For multiples of Pendle Hill Pamphlets, please consider buying directly from the Pendle Hill Bookstore. 
  • Once your cart is complete, go to checkout and use the code CONSIGNMENT. If you don't see the cost reduced to $0, stop and contact me before proceeding.
  • select the "free shipping" option
  • After placing the order, you'll receive an order confirmation email with the books prices. PRINT IT OUT for use as a price list at your event.

• We will ship the books at our expense to the address you provide. 
• Each box will contain a packing slip for items in the box. Inform us immediately of any discrepancy or damage.  Email us photos of any damage to the books or box.
• You agree to maintain the books in new, saleable condition. Please do not put stickers on them. Any books returned to QuakerBooks in unsaleable condition will be considered sold, and the yearly meeting/event will be responsible for payment.

After the Event:

• Return the unsold books at your expense within 2 weeks to the address below.
• Pack books carefully for shipping. Books must be packed flat, not upright or on edge. Use sufficient packing material to keep the books from shifting and the box from crushing.  
• Include a packing list in each box. For your own records keep a list of the returned books.
• Please do not return damaged books. Any books returned to us in unsaleable condition will be considered sold.
• We recommend using UPS or Fedex, but you may use USPS. If you choose USPS Media Mail, know that it's slower and there's no insurance. If something happens to the shipment your meeting will be responsible for the loss.
