AbeBooks Help Center

Sending a book to a different address such as your workplace, or perhaps to someone else’s address as a gift, is easily accomplished on AbeBooks. You simply need to provide the address you want the book shipped to when you place your order.

Instructions are below:

1. After you’ve added the book to your basket, click the [Proceed to Checkout] button.
2. Select a payment method and enter your payment details and billing address in the spaces provided.
3. Click the [Save & Continue] button.

Optional – save the payment method and shipping address for future purchases, so you can check out more quickly next time.

4. On the Order Summary page, click the [Edit] button beside the Shipping Address.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and enter the address you’d like the book shipped to. Click the [Save Changes] button.
6. Confirm that the address was entered correctly and then click the [Use this Address] button.
7. Select a shipping speed from the drop-down menu.
8. Confirm your payment method, shipping address, books ordered, and shipping speed, and then click the [Place Order Now] button.

On the Thank You page, your Sales Order Number will be displayed in red. Make note of the number for future reference. Your order details, including the Sales Order Number, will be included in the Order Confirmation Email.

If the book is a gift, you may wish to send a note to the bookseller. Simply click ‘My Account’, then ‘View My Purchases’. Find the order in the list and click ‘Contact Bookseller’.
