Notice: Media Mail Deliveries Significantly Delayed During the 2025 Holidays
Please note that during the 2025 Holiday season, Media Mail deliveries are being delayed by up to 4 weeks due to understaffing within the US Postal Service. If it is important that you receive your order quickly, please consider using UPS, at least until the Holidays are over and the USPS backlog is cleared.
General shipping notes
USPS Media Mail is almost always the cheapest option, and under normal circumstances (Christmas holidays are an exception) arrives within 8 days for domestic shipments.
We have lower UPS rates than are listed in the our shipping rates. They are almost always less than USPS First Class rates. Please contact us at fonsvitaeky@aol.com to get a quote for your order.
For international shipments, we have options not listed, including a number of UPS options not listed. In addition, we can ship via boat, which takes 2-4 weeks for delivery, but is substantially cheaper than other options. There are also last-minute FedEx rates which if available can be as low as 20% of the standard FedEx rate. Please contact us at fonsvitaeky@aol.com to get a quote for your order.
FOR Dubai & UAE residents: USPS does not send books to these countries. Please choose UPS, FedEx or other another courier.
Note: For overseas shipments (priority & priority express) please be aware that the package can legally be held by US customs for up to 30 days, and that you are responsible for paying any customs duties, which are not included in your payment to Fons Vitae.
