  5. Book depository never gives me an option to choose tracking for my parcel, is that an issue or is simply forwarding the dispatch notice to Cgswaps and my swap partner enough?

    1. Good question! Just send us the Book Depository order #, in that case (as you say, forwarding). We use the tracking number to help facilitate in rare instances where USPS delivers to the wrong address, or erroneously returns a package, etc.- we're not sure how Book Depository handles that potential issue, but at least the order number gives us somewhere to start, if it needs to be dug into.
