To Make a Purchase Order
If you would like to browse in our warehouse in Paso Robles, California,
you are welcome to call us at (805) 237-9639 or (800) 925-8587( if the former is a toll
call.)
for an appointment.
We expect to be keeping
our regular hours for phone inquiries are 10 AM-4 PM Pacific time, on weekdays.Our fax machine is always on, as is our answering machine, as long as the power is on. We do have outages, but they only occur about three or four times a year.
You can also email us with your signed purchase orders attached. Please follow up with a phone call so if your email gets filtered out, we will know to tell you we didn't get it.
You may contact us by e-mail at
barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net
Please email all inquiries
We will answer your email as soon as possible. If you
need a call back, please put your phone number in your email message.
You may call us at (800) 925-8587, but
it is always better to inquire by email if possible. It prevents playing telephone tag. We
will probably respond within 24 hours, and then you can call in a credit card
number if you want to when you know we have the book.
You may fax orders to (805) 237-9639. Be sure to include your phone number and your
preferred shipping method -- book rate or priority.
We are in the Pacific Time Zone
We are most likely to answer your calls in person between the hours of 10:30 A.M and
3:30 P.M., Pacific Time
Monday - Friday
If you do not get a response within a few hours, please check Upcoming Events.
If we are supposed to be in town, and you don't get a quick response, or if you call and
the answering machine does not respond after four rings, assume our phone lines and/or
electricity are down, and we will respond as soon as they are restored.
We are in an area of California that often experiences rolling blackouts.
If one of us is here, we will answer the phone in person immediately.
You will not get a menu.

shipping or browse our warehouse in Paso Robles. Please call for appointment first.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
We prefer you ask your questions about products
and availability by
e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and
keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in
your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer
unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a
book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually
have to call you back or email you anyway. We do check our e-mail frequently
throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a
message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number
clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email
us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time
zone.
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday -
Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
You can fax your purchase orders to 805-237-8639, but it's good to follow up with a phone call in a couple of days to make sure we got it, if you did not receive a delivery confirmation email. Please include an email address with your purchase order in case we have questions and so we can send your delivery confirmation number to you. You can also attach a signed purchase order to an email.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or
"Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam
messages look like that.
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee
your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
