Ordering Books Directly through HarperCollins

HarperCollins Book Ordering Policy

The HarperCollins Children's Books Division is happy to extend special terms for books ordered for resale at an author appearance. Trade and paperback editions are available at a 40% discount off the list price. Library bindings are available at a 25% discount off the list price. However, if the trade edition you wish to order is not available, HarperCollins will extend a 40% discount off the library binding. (Please note: Prices are subject to change without notice.) Books are fully returnable. You pay only for those you sell and return the rest.

If your order comes to $200 before the discount is applied, HarperCollins will pay the cost of shipping your order to the hosting organization. Your organization is responsible for the cost of shipping unsold books back to the warehouse; any shipping method you choose will be fine.

To place an order, please call out toll free Customer Service phone number: 1-800 242-7737. Be sure to state that you are ordering books for a school or library. We request that you place your order at least four to six weeks prior to the appearance date. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact the following people in Library Promotions:

Janet Ross at 212 261-6644, janet.ross@harpercollins.com
Liz Ann Howard at 212 261-6667, lizann.howard@harpercollins.com,
Catherine Balkin at 212 261-6789, catherine.balkin@harpercollins.com

Payment and Returns

Payment should be made after the appearance. If you are returning books, we prefer that you deduct the dollar amount calculated for the books you are returning. If you like, you can do the calculations for the returns right on the invoice. Send your check for the books sold, along with the invoice itself, to the following address:

HarperCollins Publishers
P.O. Box 360846
Pittsburgh, PA 15251

The above address also appears on the upper left corner of the invoice. Important Note: Harper Collins must add sales tax where applicable. In the event you have been charged tax and you are eligible for a tax exemption, please enclose a copy of your tax exemption certificate and subtract the tax from your payment.

Unsold books may be returned via the shipping method of your choice to the address below. Be sure to include a note with the unsold books stating the invoice number, the titles enclosed, and the quantity of each title being returned. Our returns address is:

HarperCollins Returns Center
2205 Lincolnway
LaPorte, IN 46350
