This is an early reminder about holiday mailing dates as they’re a day or so earlier than last year. Our office has been closed this year and I’m shipping orders from either Consortium/Ingram’s warehouse or occasionally by me or, more often, the excellent booksellers of Book Moon.

I am usually a proponent of ground shipping. Don’t choose next day or 2nd day: keep stuff off planes and on trains and trucks. However, holiday shipping is a different beastie.

Media mail shipping is included free on all orders. However, there is no “last mailing date” for media mail. If the truck is full, media mail packages wait for the next one. If it’s really busy, and it usually is, those packages will arrive after the holidays. If you don’t care, yay! If you want to guarantee pre-holiday arrival, please choose Priority Mail.

These are the USPS shipping deadlines so please order by December 15th for holiday shipping, thank you!

USPS Ground Advantage™ Service Dec. 16
First-Class Mail Dec. 16
