This depends on the books' availability. The industry standard formula is (availability) + (shipping time) = when you get your book. For example, if we have it on our shelves, your book will be shipped to you on the business day we receive your order. (We have 60,000 titles on our shelves). If you choose UPS (our suggested domestic shipping method) you will receive your books in 4-7 days.

If the book is not on our shelves (and over 1 million titles are not), but IS available at a warehouse, you will receive your books in 5-11 days (there are 500,000 titles available at various warehouses).

If the book is only available from a publisher, it will take 2-6 weeks for your book to be shipped. We can get a book to you sooner, but you must pay for the overnight shipping costs.

Now is a crucial time for independent bookstores. We appreciate your support!
