Requirements on the day of collection(Required)

Simply Textbook does not enter private residences, either to unpack bookcases/shelving, or to move books up or down stairs.

Books cannot be returned(Required)

Once a collection takes place, ownership of the books immediately transfers to Simply Textbook. Efforts to rehome or repurpose the books then takes place very quickly and efficiently. For this reason, it is not practicably possible for any books to be returned if they have been presented for collection in error. Please be careful to only present books that you are happy to be permanently rehomed or repurposed. Simply Textbook does not accept any responsibility for any books that have been presented for collection in error.
