US orders are shipped via USPS Priority Mail

International postage rates are calculated automatically; adjustments and corrections are made at time of processing.

Advantages:

• Faster service
• Better product safety
• On-line tracking
• Delivery confirmation

 

November 2007: International orders can now be placed electronically; international postage is calculated automatically. Shipping fees can be adjusted if automated checkout is significantly different from actual postage charge; changes can also be made for large orders (to save you money).

 

June 2007: Purchasers are responsible for providing an accurate mailing address serviceable by the US Postal Service or international postal offices.  Nearly all packages are shipped via USPS Priority Mail and the addresses are confirmed via USPS delivery verification.  If an unserviceable address is provided by purchaser and this problem is recognized by USPS, one email will be sent to purchaser to verify/correct the mailing address.  If response/correction is not received by time of shipment, then the address used will be the address that was provided by the purchaser, and books may be shipped by media mail since USPS Priority Mail requires a verifiable address.   You can verify your mailing address here; if you want us to use a non-verifyable address please request this at time of check-out and note that this may result in a delay in the receipt of your product(s). 

 

February 2007: In order to ship books faster and more safely, we have recently started using USPS Priority Mail (rather than media mail), which has the additional benefit of allowing you to track your orders.   After packaging and delivery to the post office, books arrive to you in 2 business days; 3 days at the most.  This new service takes effect immediately and the website and shipping costs are being updated to reflect these changes.  Books are shipped in corrugated cardboard boxes for strength and safety.  Books are somewhat bulky (8.5"x11") and heavy (3 lbs per book) so that shipping is generally about $9 for one book, $13 for two books, ... $20 for four books.  Please note that we absorb some of this cost, and you are generally not paying the full shipping rate.
