INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Shipping physical products to international locations will require prepayment of postage fees.  I am working with an international freight forwarding service.  These are the advantages:

*Excellent rates--shipping internationally is very expensive.  I am pleased with the savings using this service.

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

*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 it while in transit.

 *Timely delivery--The freight service only communicates via email so, once it reaches them, it can take several days to get an order ready to go.  However, once it is shipped, it gets to you pretty quickly.

shipping to any US address

We offer FREE standard shipping of physical products to any US address (including PO Boxes) via UPS mail innovations.  Here is how it works:

*UPS will handle your order from my warehouse
    in Michigan to your post office.  The post office will
    deliver to your door.
*Transit time is 2 to 5 days, depending upon your
     location.
*Delivery days are Monday through Saturday.
*A UPS tracking number will be assigned to your order
    which will provide detailed tracking updates
    throughout the entire shipping 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 invoice you for the cost of international shipping.  At that time, you can either pay the invoice or cancel your order if you find the shipping costs prohibitive.  (You can also use your payment toward e-books, which don't have to be shipped.)

4. Your order is then posted via UPS mail innovations (see US shipping details above) to the freight forwarding service in Florida.   This will take about 3 days.

5. Once it arrives there, the freight service determines the final cost of shipping based on the actual weight of your order.

IMPORT TAXES/FEES:  Prior to shipping, some countries require the prepayment of certain import taxes and fees.   Any such fees are in addition to shipping charges.  I won't know if this applies to your order until your parcel is ready to ship from Florida.

    If prepayment of import costs is required, I will send you a second invoice explaining the charge.   Any such fees must also be paid in full prior to shipping (you would have to pay them one way or the other anyway).  I will not be able to confirm whether any additional import taxes or fees will be due at the time your parcel arrives (my guess is probably not, but I cannot be sure).
