We ship all online orders via UPS Ground, with the exception of orders to Alaska, Hawaii and APO/DPO addresses (USPS Priority Mail). Please specify a preference in the order comments if you live in the continental U.S. and prefer U.S. Mail. Transit times vary from 2 to 7 business days, depending on your location and choice of carrier. See below for shipping rates, and please consider these additional points:

 

• We do not ship to campus addresses such as residence halls. If you live on campus and choose a shipping option, your order will be converted to "Pick Up In Store" and the shipping charges will be refunded.
• In order to help protect your investment, all shipments valued over $500 will require a signature upon delivery. If UPS cannot obtain a signature because nobody is home, your package may be taken to the nearest UPS Access Point (such as a UPS Store or other authorized agent) for your retrieval, or it will immediately be returned to us. Decisions regarding the handling of packages deemed undeliverable are the sole discretion of UPS. Please refer to your tracking information for further details. Orders not picked up from UPS Access Points within ten days will be returned to sender; if this happens, your order will be held at the Bookstore for pickup unless you request otherwise. Re-shipping an order will incur additional charges.
• Computers and electronics sold on our website are not allowed to be shipped to P.O. Boxes. These must be shipped to a valid street address, and will require a signature for delivery. 
• "Free Shipping" promotions do not apply to Expedited Shipping, extra handling charges due to an item's size and/or value, or orders shipping to international addresses.
• Original shipping and handling charges are non-refundable unless the merchandise is proven defective, or we erroneously sent the wrong item(s).

Expedited/International Shipping

If you would like expedited shipping (UPS Saturday Delivery, UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air) or shipping to an International address, please email us and we will work directly with you on your order. Shipping rates vary, are based on the package's weight, size and destination address, and cannot be determined ahead of time without knowing these details. You may choose "Ground Shipping" at checkout, and your final shipping charge will be the cost we pay for the service. The customer is responsible for any and all duties, taxes, tariffs and fees associated with an international shipment, and your final total will reflect this. Expedited Shipping does not affect order processing priority.
