For orders being shipped within the contiguous US*, the standard rates are as follows:

  • Standard (7-10 business days): \$4.75 for the first item and \$1.25 for each additional item

  • International Standard Service (4-6 weeks**): \$9.75 for the first item and \$8.25 for each additional item

Orders with multiple items will be shipped to you as the books become available, and usual per item/per additional item charges will be applied, depending on the shipping options chosen. Full shipping charges will be assessed at the time the first shipment is made. For example, if you order three items by Standard Ground shipping in the U.S., with two items in stock and one available in three weeks, the two items in stock will ship immediately and you will be charged \$7.25 (\$4.75 for the first item, and \$1.25 each for the two additional items). The expected availability of your third item will be noted on your packing slip. When the third item is available, it will be shipped at no additional charge.

Please contact Customer Service with any special requests.
