What condition are your books and other products in?
Pilgrims offers hundreds of new books and products from Indian and Nepali publishers as well suppliers. All of these products are fully and accurately described (number of pages, types of illustrations, weight, etc.). They are sold in the same new condition as we receive them from publishers/ suppliers. We also sell antiquarian books. These are rare, secondhand or out-of-print books which are often quite old. On occasion, these older books (especially those which are over 100 years old) are more worn. However, we professionally describe all antiquarian books we sell, that you know exactly what is the physical condition of the books we are offering.

Then it is boxed in a heavyweight card board container and completely encased with the strongest-quality packing tapes. This way the parcel can handle everything that the postal system can do to it. We have received praise from overseas customers on our packing methods
How safe is it to use your online order system?
Definitely yes. We use the very latest secure payments technology to collect your credit card information across the Internet in an encrypted and protected form. This technology - called SSL (or Secure Sockets Layer) - is that used by governments and the largest and most trusted businesses when they want to send information securely across the Internet.
For your further confidence, when you come to the Payment Details page in the Pilgrims online ordering system, you will see the image of a small closed padlock in the lower left hand corner of your browser window. This padlock symbol is the way the major browsers indicate that you are about to send your information safely -- using the SSL encrypted method.
Occasionally you may find our ordering system is down for maintenance. Either just press your browser’s Reload or Refresh command or, if that does not work, come back and try again in a few minutes.
