What shipping methods do you offer?

Shipping is added at checkout, on top of the price of the book. What you pay depends on where the parcel is going and how heavy it is. A single book almost always falls in the cheapest weight band, so the figures below are what most orders actually pay.

In many countries you get a choice between a cheaper mail service and a faster tracked one. You pick at checkout, once you have entered your address.

What it costs to send one book

Amounts are in US dollars. Your checkout converts them to your own currency, so the figure you see may differ by a little.

Why the price moves

Rates are banded by weight, and a book's weight follows its page count. A 25-page softcover weighs about 360 g; a 500-page hardcover is about 2.3 kg. Most single books stay inside the first band, which is why the numbers above hold for the great majority of orders. A very long hardcover can tip into the next band and add a dollar or two.

Ordering more than one book doesn't multiply the shipping. The whole order ships together as one parcel and you pay one shipping fee, based on the combined weight. Two books usually cost far less to ship than two separate orders.

Where you see your real price

Add your book to the basket and go to checkout. Once your address is in, the available services appear with their exact prices in your currency, and you choose before you pay. Nothing is charged until you confirm.

What this doesn't cover

Delivery times are a separate matter, and they include production as well as transit. If you're outside the USA and Europe, your own country may add import VAT, duties or a carrier clearance fee on arrival. Those are set by your customs authority, collected by the carrier, and none of it comes to us. We can't predict or prepay them.

We can't deliver to PO boxes, military addresses (APO/FPO) or diplomatic mailboxes.
