  What is USPS Economy Shipping?
  If you select USPS Economy Shipping for your order totaling less than $35, your order will be shipped through the United States Postal Service. Economy Shipping orders will ship when all items in the order are in stock. We have recently increased our inventory on all products, so very few orders are held for stock replenishment. You should allow from 3 to 21 days for delivery of your Economy Shipping order. If a product is out of stock, we will ship the order that is available and send you the remaining order as soon as it is available. If you see an item available on the website, it is more than likely available for shipment.

  Is there any change or reduction in TBS's typically fast shipping?
  Absolutely not! We will still ship all in-stock UPS Shipping orders received on weekdays by 3 p.m. Eastern on the same day as you order. Orders shipped by UPS can be tracked at www.ups.com using the UPS tracking number on your shipping confirmation email or the order listing on your My Account page.

  What do I gain by choosing UPS Shipping?

  • 1 to 5 day delivery
  • Complimentary drop-shipping of out-of-stock items (when possible) to shorten backorder delays
  • Guaranteed same-day shipping (orders received on weekdays by 3 pm Eastern)
  • Real-time package tracking
  • Quicker response times if ever there is a lost or damaged shipment

  Will my books be well-packed for shipment?

  • Full-time employees trained and knowledgable in every facet of the bookstore, who pack each box of books going across the country with care.
