    At present, all of our smaller orders go out in external plastic mailing bags that are not 100% recycled, but they are partly composed of recycled plastic, as we need to balance the need to make parcels weatherproof and durable.
     A lot of the cardboard we use is recycled, and, of course in one sense all of our secondhand and used books are recycled. All damaged or unsaleable stock is recycled responsibly
     
    What happens if I am not home to receive my delivery?  
    Our couriers will attempt delivery at the address, if no one is home they will leave a note and the item will be returned to the depot, They will go a back on the second day also. Delivery can be rescheduled on a later time, or the item can be delivered to another address by agreement with the recipient. If the address is incomplete or there is no contact, the item will return to the depot to await a full delivery address. After 5 working days if no contact has been made or the full delivery details are not in place the parcels is returned to the thebookshop.ie
