Looks like we have to ship books out by the following dates for Xmas (or other December 25th celebrations) arrival (although finding this information on the USPS website is almost impossible):

  • Dec 4 Priority Mail to Africa, Central & South America
  • Dec. 11 Priority Mail: Asia, Pacific Rim, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Middle East
  • Dec. 15 Domestic Parcel Post
  • Dec. 20 Domestic First-Class Mail
  • Dec. 20 Domestic Priority Mail
  • Dec. 22 Domestic Express Mail
    NOTE:  Express Mail deliveries 365 days per year (in many areas), including Christmas Day

Also: post office package prices are rising in January 18th (our prices include Media Mail shipping so this won’t affect most of our shipping):
