IMPORTANT: For now, we can only ship print books to US addresses. Ebooks and audiobooks are sold to customers in the US, CAN, AUS, and NZ. We hope to add more countries soon.
We put together a little FAQ below that hopefully answers all your questions. 🙂
I. PRINT BOOKS
How long does it take until an order ships?
Please allow up to a week for processing and shipping of print books. Our goal is to ship your books out as quickly as we can, but delays are possible.
Do you also ship books outside the US?
For now, we can only ship signed books to US addresses. We’re sorry! We hope to ship internationally at some point in the future. Please check back often to see if we’ve started shipping to your country. All packages are shipped with tracking enabled.
Book prices exclude shipping. It’s $2 for the first book, and then $1 for every additional book.
