This is your go-to guide to get you through the holiday rush. Stick to this plan and you should have your books for the holidays. That said, blizzards and blackouts happen, so earlier is always better.

Please note: Prior to shipping, it takes approximately 5 to 6 business days to print your book. This means, if you order your book on December 12, it may not begin the shipping process until December 22. Considering the demand of shipping carriers during the holiday season, these cut-off dates serve as a guideline, not a guarantee.

Does your order contain 25 books or more? Please add three extra business days to the estimated production time.

Here’s the deal: The shipping methods listed to the right are a catchall. When you place your order, your specific destination may have fewer shipping methods available. For a complete list of ship-to countries please check out our shipping page.

Shipping note: These cut-off dates serve as a guideline, not a guarantee. Blizzards and blackouts happen, so it's best to order as early as you can. FedEx, UPS, and USPS will make deliveries on December 24, but will be closed on December 25.

* These shipping options are not recommended for holiday orders.

** Due to unpredictable military and European PO Box deliveries, we don’t recommend shipping to these kinds of addresses so close to the holidays.
