Can I order multiple books on the same order to save on shipping costs?
Yes, you can order two or more different books on the same order to combine shipping costs by doing the following:

1. Go through the process of ordering the first book, but stop at the "Your Shopping Cart" page.
2. Instead of proceeding to checkout, you should jump to the other book you want to order by selecting it from the drop down select box at the top left of the screen (where it says "Go To: My Projects").
3. Now go through the process of the ordering the second book. When you get to the "Your Shopping Cart" page, there will now be two separate items in your cart.
4. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for as many other books you wish to order. When you have all the books in your cart, click the "Proceed to Checkout" button on the "Your Shopping Cart" page.

Can I ship a single order to multiple addresses?
Currently, we do not support shipping to multiple addresses. If you need to send items to more than one recipient, you'll need to place an order for each shipping destination.

Once I place my order, how soon can I expect to receive my hardcover book?
After placing your order, it will be shipped within 5-7 business days via the shipping method you choose. When you place your order, you will be given your order's estimated ship date. Please note that business days are Monday - Friday, excluding holidays.

Please note that the 5-7 business days does not include time spent in transit, which will vary depending upon the shipping method you choose.

A good rule of thumb for US-based customers is to plan on receiving your order 2.5 weeks after placing it when choosing Ground shipping; international customers should plan on receiving your order 3.5 weeks after it placing it when choosing Airmail shipping.
