FAQ
Shipping and Delivery
I’m in Yellowknife. What if it’s raining or snowing on my scheduled delivery day?
Our goal is to deliver you quality books. We pack them carefully to ensure no damage, however if the weather does not support door drop delivery on your scheduled day, your delivery will be postponed until the following delivery day. For example, if you placed an order on Monday, it will be delivered on Wednesday. If on Wednesday it’s raining or there’s a snowstorm, your delivery will automatically be rescheduled for Sunday.
- If you don’t want to wait for the next delivery day, you can contact us and arrange a same-day pickup.
Is there a minimum purchase amount for in-town delivery?
No, there is no minimum purchase amount for in-town delivery.
I live in an apartment building. Will you leave my order in the main lobby?
Definitely not. For our customers in apartment buildings, we will call you for building entry during your scheduled delivery time. If we're not able to get into the building to leave your order at your door, your delivery will be rescheduled to the next delivery day.
I’m not in Yellowknife. When will my order ship?
To make sure your order is packed with care, we require 1-2 business days to pack and ship. For larger items, we ask that you allow 3-4 business days. Orders placed on Friday or over the weekend will ship on the next business day.
Is your packing material eco-friendly?
Yes! All of our shipping material is eco-friendly, compostable, and plastic-free. This is the same for both in-town delivery and items shipped everywhere else in Canada.
Product
Can I request a book?
Yes, please! Bloomin’ Sally’s would love to treasure hunt for you and we welcome book recommendations. Simply contact us and we’ll do the rest.
How do I get maximum dollar for my trade-in?
The newer and cleaner your book is, the more you’ll get for it. A book read once and carefully, showing no signs of damage, could be considered in Excellent condition, whereas a well-loved book with dog-eared pages and a damaged spine could be considered Good, resulting in a lower trade value.
We offer three options for trade-in, with donations to the Wild Bloom collection providing maximum return. Check out our Trade a Book page for a detailed breakdown of the options available.
Are there any books you don’t accept for trade-in?
Yes, there are books that we won’t accept for trade-in at Bloomin’ Sally’s including Advanced Reader Copies, ex-library books and books that smell of must or smoke of any kind. For a full list of books not acceptable for trade-in, check out our Trade a Book page.
I want to trade my books but I don't want you to come into my home. What options do I have?
You're in luck! Bloomin' Sally's will never enter or ask to enter your residential space.
- When you trade books with us, we ask that your books be boxed or bagged for tailgate book trading.
