Turnaround & delivery
How long it takes, and the last day to order
A book is made after you order it, so the total is production plus transit. Both are below in business days. They are our estimates from our production partners' own printing times and carrier times.

Production includes up to one working day for a person to check your files and place the order with our production partner, then the partner's own printing and binding time. Faster delivery buys a faster carrier, not faster printing. The date shown at checkout is the date we are promising, not a best case.

Where we ship
Where we ship
We ship to every country in the checkout list. Import duties and taxes depend on the destination; if you need to know the landed cost before you order, ask us and we will check it with our production partner.
- Tracked within the US. Outside the US, standard delivery may not be tracked; express is
- Damaged in transit is a reprint, not a claim form
One order, several addresses
Set a different destination per book in the cart and we post each one separately, with its own gift message. You pay one shipping charge per destination, which is what it costs us, instead of placing five separate orders.
Useful for grandparents, team parents, siblings and anyone sending a memorial book to a whole family.
Free standard delivery
On any order over the threshold shown in your cart. It is a standing threshold, not a promotion, and it does not expire at midnight.
Order in time, once
Start the book now and it sits in your account until you are ready. Nothing expires and nothing is charged until you check out.
