Signed Book Packaging and Shipping

SIGNING DELAY

There will always be some delay between when you order a book and when it is shipped to you, since Brandon has to sign the book first. He typically signs books only every other Saturday, though he will sign more often during the holiday rush. But sometimes Brandon goes out of town for a family gathering, a convention, or a book tour. Please be aware that all of those factors and others can mean that the book doesn't come as quickly as you expect. If you have concerns about this, contact Brandon's assistant Becky (dragonsteel.becky@gmail.com) with your specific request.

PACKAGING

For shipping books, we use bubble mailers, with the book wrapped in bubble wrap separately. Or if we're using Priority Mail, we use a flat rate envelope with the book wrapped in bubble wrap. This seems to protect the books just fine, but if you are a collector and want more expensive packaging, contact Brandon's assistant Becky with your specific request.

MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING (U.S.)

By default we ship books via USPS media mail in the U.S. This option can take a couple of weeks, but it is the most economical.

The charge for basic shipping and handling is as follows:

US: $3.50 per book (plus the cost of the book itself)
US: $4.00 per book (for large books such as THE GATHERING STORM)

PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING (U.S./Canada/International)

By default we ship books internationally via USPS Priority Mail International, and Priority Mail may also be selected for the U.S. Single books will fit fine in a flat-rate envelope, and three thinner books will fit in a medium flat-rate box. Only one of the three books going into a medium flat-rate box can be a thicker book such as THE GATHERING STORM.

The charge for Priority Mail shipping and handling is as follows:

US: $5.50 for one book (plus the cost of the book itself)
US: $10.50 for a medium flat-rate box that will fit 2 or 3 books (plus the cost of the books)
Canada: $11.50 for one book (plus the cost of the book itself)
Canada: $27 for a medium flat-rate box that will fit 3 books (plus the cost of the books)
All other countries: $15 per book (plus the cost of the books themselves)

COMBINED SHIPPING

Each order of exactly three books will incur an automatic upgrade to Priority Mail shipping at no charge above that for standard shipping, and such an order will be shipped in a flat-rate box. Unfortunately a limit in box sizes available to us means that three books is the maximum that can be shipped together, and any books beyond that will be shipped in our standard fashion. Also, large books such as THE GATHERING STORM will only fit two per flat-rate box, though a TGS and two Mistborn books will still fit in the same box. Please contact Becky for more details. Note: Due to the different locations that our store items are shipped from, we cannot combine shipping for other items such as jewelry and apparel.

HOLIDAY DEADLINES

The last day to order signed books to guarantee arrival by December 24th is December 6th in the U.S. (December 12th with Priority shipping) and December 4th internationally. But it's best for international orders to go in ASAP just in case; November 19th would be ideal.
