HOW TO ORDER
|
Items can be ordered three ways:
- through our shopping cart. When you place an order using this method you will receive a confirmation of the order by e-mail. This is a confirmation of the placing of the order only. We will then pull the items and ensure everything is in order as well as make any adjustments to the shipping required - we will never ask for additional shipping but will, if the parcel is lighter, reduce the shipping amount.
- by phone, 1-204-667-8635
- by e-mail
If you use options 2 or 3 be sure to note the item number of the item(s) you would like to order.
Remember . . . if you have a spam filter to add our e-mail address ( paladinbooks1@shaw.ca) to your friends list.
Should one or more items in your order have a condition classified as UK [Unknown condition email for $ & condition] we will pull the item then grade and final price the item. If the item is in a less than good condition, we will e-mail you with the full description and the reduced price for your approval. In a case like this, no charges will be made to your credit card until you have approved or declined the item.

Condition and Ordering information
Condition: We have tried to keep things as simple as we can, here is our philosophy: We price the item first, then we apply a name to the condition of the item (New, As New, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor etc.) Our description of the condition should let you know what faults, if any, there are to the item, the pictures attached to each item are of the actual item. So if an item is $7.99, and we say it is in 'very good' condition, and when you get it, if you think it is in 'good' condition, we will agree with you. But the price will still be $7.99!
While we do have collectable material, we grade based on reading copy standards. We try to ensure that all flaws have been noted, but, for example, will not go through the book page by page looking for marks or flaws that are not visible with a quick flip through. For magazines we will count the pages to ensure everything is there and note if anything is missing. We only count pages for books if there is some other indication that it may be necessary.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL so please e-mail for information before ordering.
Some magazines are notoriously bad at page numbering. For these magazines, we check that all items that are listed in the table of contents are in the magazine, look for any inconsistencies in the text flow to determine if any pages might be missing and check the staples (if there are any) to ensure they are tight and don't look tampered with.
We cannot guarantee any part of a magazine that is not listed in the contents or on the cover. For example if a particular magazine originally included a supplement, but that supplement wasn't included in the table of contents or mentioned on the front cover, we have no way of knowing it was originally there. If the supplement is noted in the contents or on the cover we will mention if it is included.
For Items In Unknown Condition - the price has been entered only because the program demands a price (the price listed on unknown condition items is usually based on the highest collectible price we know of). Once the item has been requested, the condition and an accurate price will be quoted. The response to your initial order will include all the information available; you make your decision on whether you still want the item at that time.
