Orders are usually processed the same day or within 24 hours of receipt (Monday-Friday). Unless otherwise requested, all U.S. orders are shipped by ground. Note that items may come faster than indicated below or slower if items are held up in transit. (Note that transit delays, which are rare, are beyond our control.)

All orders have a base shipment charge of $3.00 for standard and $6 for priority, plus a per item charge. Each item is assigned a value of “A” through “H” for weight or bulk, with “A” being the lightest and “H,” the heaviest. Most books fall into the “B” and “C” categories, with bulky items or items heavier than two pounds costing more to ship and falling into the “D” and higher shipping classes.

In certain circumstances, additional shipping or handling charges are necessary beyond the estimate created by our online store. If your order requires additional charges we will contact you so you may authorize us to charge additional shipping to your credit card and to inform you of your shipping options. An example of a situation that would require additional shipping charges are oversized items which require their own separate package.

If your order does not arrive within 30 days, we can place a claim with the US Post Office for a lost parcel. Under US Postal regulations, this is the earliest we can ask for a claim inquiry. It can take an additional 30 or more days for the Post Office to investigate.
-
If Federal Express or United Parcel Service fails to deliver your order:
If the official information from the carrier associated with the tracking number for your shipment indicates that your order has been delivered, contact us using the information above so that we can give you information on making a claim with the carrier for your lost, misdirected or stolen package.
-
If an item arrives damaged during shipment:
We do our best to ensure quality shipping by carefully picking & packing your order, and working closely with the U.S. Postal Office, UPS & Fedex.
