Shipping Information
To find out when you will get your book, you need to consider the availability of the book you ordered and the shipping option you selected. Here's the equation we use:
For example, many books on our site show 24-hour availability. If you select Standard Shipping, your shipping time will be 3 to 7 business days, depending on where you live. This means your total delivery time will be 1 day (availability) + 3 to 7 days (shipping time). So you can expect to receive this book at your front door 4 to 8 days after you place your order.

For example, many books on our site show 24-hour availability. If you select World Mail, your shipping time will be 7 to 21 business days, depending on where you live. This means your total delivery time will be 1 day (availability) + 7 to 21 business days (shipping time). So you can expect to receive this book at your front door 8 to 22 business days after you place your order. A note about standard shipping: Packages sent via standard shipping go by surface mail. Shipping time varies widely depending on the destination. In our experience, standard shipments take about 2 to 3 weeks to Canada, 6 weeks to the United Kingdom, 6 to 8 weeks to Japan and Australia, and 10 to 12 weeks to Brazil, to name a few.
Important Shipping Facts A Next Day Air Cautionary Note Upgrading to Next Day Air does not mean you'll get your order the next day. Upgrading to Next Day or 2nd Day Air does not change how long it takes us to assemble and ship your order--it only reduces the travel time after the book leaves our warehouse. For example, an item marked as "Usually shipped within 2 to 3 days" and upgraded to Next Day Air will usually leave our warehouse on the 2nd or 3rd business day and reach you on the 3rd or 4th business day. Ordering Books with Different Availabilities
Choosing this option on the order form means that we will wait until we have all the items in your order before shipping any of them. For example, if you order one book marked as "Usually shipped within 2 to 3 days" and another marked "Special Order: usually shipped within 4 to 6 weeks," we will ship both books to you when the special-order book becomes available. Choosing this option on the order form means that each book you order will be shipped as it becomes available. Your shipping charges will increase, but, to save you some money, we make an effort to ship books as soon as we obtain them while not making any more shipments than necessary. Any out-of-print books in your order will automatically be shipped separately, even if you choose "Make one shipment when complete order is ready." All 1-Click orders placed within 90 minutes of each other will be combined automatically into a maximum of 2 orders. Click here for more information about 1-Click shipping information. We mark international packages as containing "Books--New" and state the cost of the books on the customs documentation; if the order is a gift, the package is marked "Gift," but the cost of the books is still stated on the customs form. Currently, we are not able to describe the contents in any other way. Customs or import duties may be levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you may want to contact your local customs office for further information. |
