How to calculate International Shipping? 
The International Shipping consists of three possibilities. These are as follows:

• Only Books or only Movies are ordered.
  
  (Rate for First Book + (No. of books ordered - 1) X Additional Book)
  

• Only Music(CDs / Cassettes) are ordered.
  
  (Rates for First 3 CDs / Cassettes + [(No. of CDs / Cassettes ordered - 3) / 3] x Additional 3 CDs / Cassettes)
  
  Note: If result value of [(No. of CDs / Cassettes ordered - 3) / 3] is negative, then this would be considered as "ZERO". If the result value is positive decimal no., then it must be rounded off to next higher whole no. i.e. "0.2" will be considered as "1", "1.8" as "2" & "-1" as "0".
  

• If you buy both Books as well as Music/Movies.
  
  [Rate for First Book + (No. Of Books - 1) x Additional Book] + [{(No. Of Music/Movie CDs/Cassettes) - (No. Of Books - 1)} / 3 x (Additional item)]
  
  Note: {(No. Of Music/Movies) - ( No. of Books - 1)} / 3 would never be negative, if it is negative, then this would be considered as "ZERO". If this value is positive decimal no., then it must be rounded off to next higher whole no. i.e. "0.2" will be considered as "1", "1.8" as "2" & "-1" as "0".
  

This means you are enjoying free shipping on a music/movie CD/Cassette on every additional purchase of book. i.e. If you buy two books, you will get free shipping on one music/movie CD/Cassette, if three, free shipping on two music/movie CD/Cassette.
