Repairs are booked with a deposit: $50 for the first book, $25 for each additional book in the same box. The deposit is non-refundable and comes off your final total if you move forward. It covers your inspection, reserves your spot in the inspection schedule, and round-trip Media Mail if you choose it.

If you decline the final invoice, or it goes unpaid after 14 days, the deposit covers the inspection and return shipping, and your book ships back as-is.
