Although the books you earn are free, Usborne does ask hosts to cover the shipping. I wanted to make sure this was okay with you because I don't want you to be surprised by that when we close your party. The shipping rate is $2 plus 8% of the total retail value (with a $6.95 min.) So for example, if you earn $100 in free books you will pay about $11, which includes tax on the shipping. If you're ok with that, then let's get a party planned! *
