FREE SHIPPING TO ANY US ADDRESS:

Physical products weighing up to ship via UPS mail innovations (PO Boxes too!)  Here is how it works:

*UPS or the USPS will handle your order from my
    warehouse in Michigan to your local post office.  The
    post office will deliver to your door.
*Transit time is 2 to 5 days, depending upon your
     location.
*Monday through Saturday delivery.
*A postal service tracking number will be assigned to
    your order which will provide detailed tracking
    updates via the UPS or the  USPS website.


Orders exceeding 15 pounds and any orders sent from my office in Oregon ship via media mail with the US Post Office.  Door-to-door tracking is provided.

TIME-TO-SHIP WINDOW:  Due to the continued challenges of the Covid pandemic, it is taking longer than usual to get orders shipped.  Right now the shipping processing window is 7 business days.  This ship-window starts when you receive the email from me notifying you that your order is being processed.
      My warehouse is working diligently to meet these challenges and this notice will be updated as new information becomes available. (Updated 4/25/2021)

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Shipping physical products to international locations will require prepayment of shipping costs, and, in many cases, any import fees.  I am working with an international freight-forwarding service (MyUS.com) in Sarasota, Florida.  These are the advantages:

*Excellent rates--Shipping internationally is very expensive.  Using myUS.com saves up to 80% in shipping costs.  (If you frequently buy things from US vendors, you can open your own account and save on shipping all your US purchases.)

*Exact pricing--Since my books are heavy and costs to ship to different countries vary quite a bit, it makes sense to get a price that matches the exact weight of your specific order to your country.

*Door-to-door tracking--Although the way its set up, I have to do the tracking for you, at least we have a way of finding your order while in transit.

 *Timely delivery--The freight service ships your parcel shortly after it arrives in Florida.   Once it is shipped internationally, it gets to you pretty quickly, usually within 5 to 7 days, depending on your location.

IMPORT TAXES/FEES:  To get the most economical shipping rate, the shipper also requires prepayment of any import taxes and fees for a number of countries (see list here).  These import fees are charged by the destination country and would have to be paid in any event, they are NOT additional charges.   When prepayment is required, you will be responsible for both import fees and international shipping costs.

I will keep you updated as to the status of your order throughout this process.

Here is how international shipping works:

1. Place and pay for your order for physical items.

2. I will calculate your shipping charges based on the estimated weight of your order and your country. 

3. I will email you regarding the estimated cost of shipping.  At that time, you will let me know if you want to proceed with shipping.  If you find the shipping costs prohibitive, you to options.  You can apply your payment toward e-books, which don't have to be shipped.  If you choose e-books, you will receive a small refund.  If that doesn't work for you you can cancel your order and receive a full refund.

4. If you are okay with the cost of shipping, I will send your order from my warehouse in Michigan to the myUS warehouse in Florida.  Once the order leaves the warehouse in Michigan, it cannot be cancelled.  At that point, you will be responsible for paying the actual cost of shipping + any import fees that must be prepaid to get the best shipping rate.

5. IMPORT FEES:  I will not know the amount of any import fees until your package is received by MyUS.com.  Import fees are calculated based on the value of the items and the cost of shipping.  If prepayment of these fees is not required, any import fees will need to be paid by you once your parcel arrives.

6. Sending your order from my warehouse in Michigan to the MyUS.com warehouse in Florida will take 3 to 7 days.

7. Once your order arrives in Florida, MyUS.com determines the final cost of shipping based on the actual weight of your parcel and any import fees and ships your parcel shortly (there have been some delays with the Covid pandemic).

8.  I will send you a separate invoice for shipping + import fees, which will be due upon receipt.
