U. S. domestic shipping costs are based on books weighing up to one kilogram (2.2 pounds) and shipped via USPS Media Mail. Book orders exceeding 2.2 pounds (one kilogram) and multi-volume sets may require additional postage. Non-book orders (ephemera, maps, prints) do not qualify for USPS Media Mail and will be delivered via USPS Ground Advantage or Priority Mail. Non-book orders may also require additional postage. We will contact you if additional funds are necessary to fulfill your order. We will also combine multiple items into a single order to reduce buyer costs whenever possible. All international shipping costs quoted herein are estimates only. Contact us for a specific shipping quote based on the item(s) you are interested in purchasing, your ship-to location, and your preferred method of delivery. While we generally ship via USPS worldwide where available, we will quote DHL, FedEx, and UPS upon request. International buyers are responsible for country-specific taxes (Value Added Tax or VAT) and any additional costs resulting from receipt of materials in countries outside the United States. Contact us if you have questions. We appreciate your business.
