Shipping Policy

Plan Ahead! Due to the high volume of textbook orders received during January and August, please allow an additional business day before your order ships or is ready for pickup.

 

Ichabod Shop ships to addresses within the United States, U.S. Territories, and APO/FPO/DPO addresses. If you wish to ship internationally, please contact us so we can provide you with a quote.

 

Most orders are shipped via UPS Ground by default. Please specify a preference in the order comments if you 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:

 

  • Orders received after 9:30 am will be shipped the following business day.
  • Expedited Shipping (via UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air) is available by request. The final charge will be based on the final cost to the Ichabod Shop. If you request expedited shipping, please do so in the order comments, or by calling/e-mailing us. Expedited Shipping will not affect order processing priority. Ichabod Shop reserves the right to refuse expedited services if your request serves no practical purpose (for example, a delivery address within UPS Ground's one-day transit zone).
  • 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 $300 will require a signature upon delivery. If UPS cannot obtain a signature because nobody is home, your package will be taken to the nearest UPS Access Point (such as a UPS Store or other authorized agent) for your retrieval. 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.
  • "Free Shipping" promotions do not apply to Expedited Shipping, or orders shipping to international addresses.

Delivery & Risk Of Loss

Ichabod Shop is not liable for products damaged or lost during shipping. All responsibility transfers to the carrier once your order leaves the Ichabod Shop. If you receive your order damaged, please contact the carrier to file a claim.

Estimated Shipping Times

You will receive a shipment confirmation e-mail once your order has shipped, containing your tracking information. Ichabod Shop does not share your email address with any third party except for the sole purpose of communicating details with you about your order. The map below shows the average shipping time for packages leaving Topeka via UPS Ground. Please note that shipping times are estimates, and can be affected by overall volume and Acts of God, especially during holiday periods. Service to some remote areas also may require additional delivery days. Please click here to learn transit times by ground to your ZIP code.
