Books:
Books are mailed USPS Media Mail, which takes 7-14 days. The cost of shipping books is by total weight, which includes any handling effort. Insurance against loss or damage is extra. We ship within 2 business days of receipt of payment. 

Our Damage Policy:
We take extra precautions to pack our orders to prevent damage and breakage. If, despite our efforts, your order does arrive damaged, you must work with the carrier (USPS, Postal Service) to file the claim. They will normally want to see the entire order (all contents and all original packing material). Do not repack and please, do not return the damaged items to us unless you are instructed to do so. This will void the insurance and we will not be able to give you a refund.
Note that we only ship within the continental U.S., and to Canada as standard. We will consider other International shipping destinations on an individual basis, if requested, and provide customized shipping costs in each case.
