    My shelves are listed with numbers (bookcase 1, shelf 1 therefore noted as 1-1) rather than letters and numbers and the sorting works good and it isnt all over the place like you found. I sold 75 books recently to 1 person and ended up posting in 4 boxes weighing approx 40kg altogether. Wish I had more like that!!

    A very nice tip on posting in boxes, if you leave the box square or rectangle Australia Post will cube it and it will cost you a lot more, what you need to do, either stick a box (empty) onto the outside or un-square the box, make a different shape on one end so It is not a cube ( fold over a side, just a little like a triangle, so they cannot be cubed,) (odd shaped box) the money difference is quite a bit,

      I was thinking that, also. But, she may be preparing for a long downtime reading.
      It sounds as she went through with a list and then bought them in a long stream.
      Would a librarian in a poor area with a very limited budget buy books used? Or someone privately buying for a library?
      There was a $1000 budget here, the money above the price of the books to be used for shipping.
      Mel, please tell her that we are curious and ask if she could just give us a hint?

Makes you wonder about life a little more. Anyway, I’ve been a fan for a few years but didn’t know if you sold to the U.S. Probably cheaper to buy here, but someday I still want to purchase at least one. 😺 you are a sweetie. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life. You’re awesome and an inspiration. I sell books but had a lull and need to list so many piles I’ve acquired in my little studio. 😖 lol 🦋🙏🏻🌺

    Be super careful of fraud. If you can afford to ship each item with tracking. They might also try doing a charge back after getting items. Delay shipping as long as possible for potential fraud to surface. Also block the customer for now until everything clears.
