Production time estimates

Production times are estimates and can vary throughout the year due to print facility volumes, US holidays, seasonal demand, or unexpected delays like maintenance or stock issues. We cannot guarantee exact production completion dates.

Total delivery time

Add production time and shipping time together to estimate your total window.

For a Paperback with free standard shipping, plan on about two and a half to three weeks from the day you order to the day it arrives — roughly 10 days at the printer, then 5–7 business days in the mail. Choosing a faster shipping option at checkout shortens the second half of that window, not the printing.

Carrier delays can also occur and are outside our control.

Ordering for a specific date?

If you have a birthday or a deadline, please tell us before you order — message us in chat and we'll tell you honestly whether it will make it and which shipping option gives you the best chance. You can also add a note at checkout with your deadline; we check every order and will reach out if we need to adjust your shipping method to make it work.

If a book is going to be tight against a date that matters, we'd rather say so up front than have you find out late.

We currently ship within the US only.
