What is an ABC?

AdventistBookCenter.com is the online store for a world-wide network of
Christian bookstores called Adventist Book Centers®, or ABCs. The site is
owned jointly by two Seventh-day Adventist publishers, Pacific Press® and
Review and Herald® Publishing. All the materials on the site are published or
distributed by these two publishers. The publishers maintain the site, and
the Adventist Book Centers® provide the fulfillment services.

When you place an order, it is automatically sent to the participating
Adventist Book Center® serving your geographical area--usually the one
nearest you. There it is processed, packed, and shipped. Your credit card is
charged by the local ABC, at the time the order is shipped, not
automatically when you place the order, as it is on some sites. This system
assures that your order receives the personal attention it deserves and that
it is shipped, whenever possible, from a location near your shipping
address, thus saving you shipping time and money.

Your local ABC will let you know by e-mail when your package has been
shipped, and if there are any questions or problems associated with your
order, they'll e-mail you all the necessary information.

So if you're a regular ABC customer, relax! Your friendly ABC staff will be
serving you through the internet, just as they do in the store. If you're a
new ABC shopper, welcome! Click on the Store Locator to see the full list of
Adventist Book Centers® participating in this website. We hope you'll find
just what you're looking for, on the web or in a real "bricks and mortar"
ABC. And, either way, we hope you'll visit us often.
