New! The Daily Digest: Newsletter – May 2005

Shipment Details Box: Newsletter – May 2005
Wednesday, May 4th, 2005As a way to help members keep track of when books are coming and going, we have created a Shipment Details Box for all requests on the member’s home page. This box provides information that tells when books have been requested, accepted and mailed as well as its anticipated arrival date.
In order for this Details Box to be accurate, once a book request is accepted, the sender must indicate if they have mailed the book. Sometimes members accept a request, print the wrapper and mail the book but fail to indicate when they have mailed the book. Please help us provide everyone with up-to-date information on their requests and let us know when you mail a book. Thank you in advance for helping to manage expectations for requesting members.

Postal Savings for Multiple Books: Newsletter – May 2005
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005When using “Media Mail” wrapper system, most books will ship for $1.42. Occasionally one member will like a lot of books that another member has listed, and they will order multiple books from the same member. If you happen to have multiple books going to the same address, you may want to stop by the post office and mail these as a single package using the “Media Mail” rate. This will cost approximately $1.82, but you should have them weighed to be sure.

Reminder: First In – First Out. Newsletter – May 2005
Monday, May 2nd, 2005Please remember that when multiple copies of the same book are requested, the book that was posted first will receive the request first. If the member receiving this request cannot mail their book, then the request goes to the member that posted the book next. If you are deleting and reposting your books, this will send them to the back of the line. So, be sure you want to delete a book before doing so in order to keep your priority in line.

This makes it easy for people to visit the site and join up. We’ve had many members who have joined through this method. Our goal is to get lots of members so that there will be more books for all of us to read!
You can find additional information and easy methods to obtain new referrals by going to the Advanced Referral page.

From Our Members: Newsletter – May 2005
Sunday, May 1st, 2005
This is the best thing for booklovers that has ever hit the internet. Our bookcase was loaded with books that were only collecting dust, and are now posted for other members to read when they want, and with my husband’s schedule being as busy at it is,we’ve found it difficult to even make time to get to the library. I’ve never found a more perfect or enjoyable website in my life. A million thanks to the wonderful people that created and run this site.
Cathie B. – Austin, TX – 5/2/2005
