About Ainekay
1 Tennessee company, a list that starts at 30 books on 3 shelves, no warehouse of our own, and 6 numbers you can hold us to. That is the shop in 1 sentence. The 5 sections below say who is selling, what is on the shelves today, where the shelves go next, what this shop is not, and which numbers count. None of them needs a story.
You are dealing with KENNETH COLBAUGH LLC, a book desk in Decatur, Tennessee
The company. KENNETH COLBAUGH LLC, a limited liability company formed in Tennessee, Employer ID 99-4178666, and the desk is at 1015 Sneed Rd, Decatur, TN 37322; Decatur is the Meigs County seat, in the southeast of the state. At the desk the list is chosen and the email is answered, and the descriptions are written there too. What does not happen there: no stock is kept, no parcel is packed, and nobody walks in.
The route a book takes. Bought new from licensed US book-trade wholesalers; held and packed by a distribution partner at its warehouse in the United States; carried by USPS. Ainekay is a bookseller, not a publisher and not a warehouse, and the arrangement is the same arrangement most small online booksellers use: the trade wholesalers hold the copies, a fulfillment company packs them, and the shop's own work is choosing and answering. It costs a few days against a retailer with its own warehouse network, and we would sooner write that here than have you learn it from a tracking page.
You are choosing from 30 books on 3 shelves today, picked 1 at a time
The list, as of this writing. 30 titles, 10 on each shelf, priced from $8.99 to $42.99, from 24 different publishers. Cooking and baking runs from The Woks of Life to a bread-machine guide and an Amish canning cookbook; garden and growing from Plantopedia to a week-by-week vegetable planner; crochet and knitting has stitch dictionaries and amigurumi patterns among its 10.
Why these 3 subjects came first. They are the books people open again. A cookbook gets sauce on it, and a stitch dictionary lives in the yarn basket for years. Each title was chosen by reading about it before it went up, and each description on the site was written here, not copied from a retailer; a book that turns out to be a poor edition comes off the list.
You are looking at the first 3 shelves, not the last
Today. Everything for sale is a printed book from 1 of these 3 shelves, which is why this page and the policies talk about cookbooks, garden books and crochet. Those 30 titles are the start of the list, not the size of it.
Next. More kinds of books come first: other subjects that can be sold the same way, meaning new copies bought from the same licensed wholesalers, packed by the same partner, and delivered under the shipping and return numbers already printed on this site. A subject is added once somebody at the desk has read enough in it to pick the titles and write the descriptions, and a shelf of something that is not a book, if it ever comes, has to pass the same test and gets its own supplier and its own return rule spelled out first. No date is promised. No subject is named here before it is on a shelf.
Never quietly. When a shelf is added, this page, the home page and the Terms of Service change the same day, and every new title sells on the terms already printed here from the day it appears. If you find a shelf on the site that this page does not mention, the page is late, and an email gets it corrected.
You will not find a heritage story, a warehouse tour or an award here
Writing this list down is easier than inventing a history, and it is safer for you.
- No family firm with a founding year to point at; the LLC is recent and the list is new.
- No storefront and no reading room; the warehouse belongs to the distribution partner.
- No awards, no press quotes, nothing "as seen on".
- No partnership with Amazon, with Barnes and Noble or with any publisher; we buy their books at trade terms and that is the whole relationship.
- A review count that starts at 0, and only real buyers move it.
What you see is a small Tennessee company, a list that began at 30 books, a phone that rings at a desk, and policies with numbers in them.
You can hold us to 6 numbers and 1 signature
6 numbers, each taken from the policy page it belongs to.
- $4.99, or $0 from $35, is the whole shipping charge, in the Shipping Policy.
- 3 to 9 business days is order to doorstep, with a 4:00 PM Central cut-off.
- 30 days is the time to send a book back, with $0 restocking, in the Refund and Returns Policy.
- 7 days is the time to report a damaged, wrong or misdescribed copy, with 2 photos.
- 12 hours is the time to cancel or fix an address after ordering.
- 1 business day is the time for a person to reply, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Central.
A note from the owner: the list started short on purpose, so that every title could be read about before it went up, and that rule travels with every shelf added later, whatever the count reaches. There is no team behind the email address, so a reply may take most of a business day, and it will come from the person who chose the book. If a listing is wrong, tell me and it gets fixed the same week. Signed, Founder, KENNETH COLBAUGH LLC.
