Shipping Information

Our business hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.

We make every effort to ship orders within 24-48 hours during the business week. There is no shipping on weekends, holidays or days we are closed. Shipping is by United Parcel Service (UPS) ground, Federal Express (FedEx) ground, or USPS Standard & Priority Mail service in the 48 contiguous states. We ship US Postal Service Priority Mail (USPS) to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Canada requires a Customs Declaration when we ship. We do not currently ship internationally except to Canada.

Shipping fees are based on package weight and your zip code. Express delivery services are extra. Shipping time is at the discretion of UPS, FedEx or USPS once it leaves our facility. We ship from Berryville, VA 22611 which is in a rural area. A package to California may take 5-6 days by ground delivery. This is typical transit time, NOT guaranteed time.

Whenever possible we try to ship orders received before 10:00 AM EST (Eastern Standard Time) that same day during the business week. Orders received after 10:00 AM EST will be shipped the next business day. Orders are shipped ground unless you select and pay for the upcharge for express services. Express delivery begins the day after we ship not the day you order or the day we process your order.

Occasionally delivery service companies may experience serious delays in extreme weather conditions in your area. Neither Pumpernickel Press or these companies can control this issue.
