Shipping Playbook

Worldwide book delivery with careful packing and honest timelines

RusLibrary ships globally with tracked parcels, reinforced packaging, and realistic delivery windows. Most paid orders are prepared quickly and dispatched through our European workflow.

Regular dispatch from Europe

Book orders usually leave our fulfillment workflow within 48 hours once payment is confirmed.

Protective packaging

Rigid mailers, padding, and moisture barriers are used to keep books shelf-ready on arrival.

Tracked parcels

Every order receives tracking so readers can follow the parcel without guessing what happened after checkout.

Customs-ready paperwork

We describe shipments clearly as printed matter to reduce unnecessary friction at the border.

Timeline

FAQ

Shipping questions readers ask most

Straight answers for timing, damage, tracking, and route restrictions.

Do all book orders include tracking?

Yes. Every parcel includes tracking so you can follow it from dispatch to final delivery.

What if a parcel arrives damaged?

Send us photos of the packaging and the damaged books. We will review the claim and arrange a refund or replacement.

Do you ship rare or heavy books internationally?

Yes, but delivery time and cost may vary depending on format, weight, and destination country.

What about U.S. orders right now?

We can reserve the titles for you, but dispatch waits until the postal lane reopens. If you prefer not to wait, we can refund the order.

Do you offer shipping insurance?

Yes. Orders are protected against loss or severe transit damage and we handle claims directly if a parcel goes wrong.

Can I update my shipping address after payment?

Often yes, if packing has not started yet. Email us as soon as possible and we will confirm whether the address can still be changed.

How quickly do orders leave your side?

Most paid orders enter the packing workflow within 48 hours, excluding unusual route disruptions or special-order titles.
