All autographed books will ship via USPS from Gardiner, ME. The best rate is the media rate which is a flat rate but will take a little longer to arrive. If you order from this website, I may not have books on hand but can drop ship them from the printer. Dropshipping can be done by media rate (the lowest) or UPS. I will try to let you know what your tracking number is so that you can keep tabs on your shipment. If the shipping costs end up lower than you pay, I will credit your account for the difference and it will apply to your next order. Delivery times will vary depending on where the shipment originates from and what type of shipping you choose. If you need your book by a certain date, it is best to contact me ahead of time to make sure you choose or have arranged for the correct type of shipping. If you are local in the Gardiner/Augusta area, I will arrange to meet with you somewhere in town so that both of us are not inconvenienced. I will contact you via email to make those arrangements.
