Harvard Book Store's New Green Delivery Service

Buy Green. Buy Local. By Bike.
A new way to get your books
faster, cheaper, and greener.


Harvard Book Store is oh so pleased to announce its super speedy, environmentally responsible, and inexpensive delivery service to the Boston area.

In partnership with MetroPed, “Boston’s human-powered delivery service,” Harvard Book Store will now deliver all local orders for as little as $5, six days a week, using emissions-free vehicles. And all in-stock orders placed for Cambridge and parts of Somerville and Allston will receive same- or next-day delivery.

All deliveries for the surrounding Boston area will also be shipped through our Green Delivery Service, with arrival in one to three business days.

All deliveries cost $5 for the first item, and $1 for each additional item.
