All books on this site are sold at wholesale prices for the
purpose of spreading Rebbe Nachman's teachings and not for making a
profit.
Ordering Books
It is very simple to order books, just add them to your cart.
You can view what products are currently in your cart by clicking
on the 'Cart Icon' found on the top right of the header.
Inventory and Out of Stock Books
If a book is not currently in stock, then it will have an 'Out
of Stock' label on it. We try to keep tight inventory control and
if the site allows you to order a book, it generally means we have
it in stock.
Transaction Security
We do not store any secure credit card information on our
servers and all that is passed directly to Paypal. We will not give
over your personal information to other parties, although we might
contact you for purposes of Hafatza at a later point.
Payment Methods
We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard,
American Express and Discover. We also accept payments from
PayPal.
Although we run our payments through PayPal, there is no need
for you to have a PayPal account in order to make a purchase. You
can use your regular credit card, even though you do not own a
PayPal account. Look for a link that says "Don't have a PayPal
account? Use your credit card or bank account".
Breakdown of Book Pricing
This site was created to sell as many of Rebbe Nachman's books
as possible and not to make a profit from book sales. We do not
mark up the books. If there are any marginal differences due to the
averaging factor, it will be used for stocking up on more
inventory. No one is pocketing the money.
Here is the formula we use to determine the price of a
book.
Lets say $1 = 3.5 Shekel
(Although the shekel goes up and down, we can not change the
conversion rate everyday. Remember we have to withdraw the money
from our US account and transfer it to Shekels in order to pay the
publishers for the books.)
Publisher Price = Wholesale price of books
as offered by the various publishers.
Sea Shipping Charge = We bulk ship the books
from Israel via sea to our NY base. On average each regular book
costs $1 to ship, large books $2, medium books .50 cents and small
books .30 cents. Although this can not be applied to every book
since they vary in page size and weight, these are the average
prices and these are the figures we are using.
Deducted Pay Pal Fee = Paypal charges a 3.49% fee
from every sale + .49 cents. Most sites make a profit on sales so
they swallow this charge in that amount. Since we are selling at
cost, we have to add this as a separate charge. On the shopping
cart this charge comes up as 'Processing Fee'. On books we only add
3.49%, the .49 cents are added to the shipping charge.
