Shipping Information

Shipping Rates

Quick Tip: to find out the actual cost of shipping your items, view your shopping cart page (click My Cart at the top right of any page). At the bottom of your shopping cart total we list the available shipping rates.

  1. For orders shipped to a United States address:

    • Standard shipping is $4.50 + 6.5% of your order total
    • Priority is $4.95 + 16%
    • UPS (Ground, 2nd Day Air, 3 Day Select) - calculated at checkout based on your address

    If you don't specify UPS, we generally use the United States Postal Service. Standard orders sent by USPS Media Mail usually take 3-10 business days, but an occasional order will take up to 3 weeks. Shipments to Hawaii take 4 - 6 weeks. Priority shipments should take only 2-3 business days for delivery. Large orders are often shipped by UPS, so please provide a physical address.

  2. For foreign customers:

    New Low Rate for International Shipments:
    Our international shipping rates have now been reduced to equal that of US priority shipments. A local Mennonite congregation has volunteered to subsidize international shipments so that our products are more affordable to foreign destinations. We are very thankful for their generosity. The subsidized rate will be effective on all international shipments ordered from June 16, 2010 through September 15, 2010 (at that point we will determine whether or not to continue offering subsidized rates). Now is a great opportunity to ship Rod and Staff books to your missionary friends or others located outside the United States. Also, any of you overseas customers will appreciate this opportune time to buy the schoolbooks and other items we offer. Please spread the word.

    • Standard surface shipping is not available
    • Priority shipping to Canada and Mexico is $11.45 + 23% now $4.95 + 16% of your order total
    • Priority to all other countries is $13.95 + 39% now $4.95 + 16%

    Priority shipping orders will be shipped by the least expensive priority method. If you have special requests, they will be considered. Priority shipments take an average of 1 - 2 weeks for delivery. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Some items will include a shipping surcharge as they cannot be shipped by our standard service, such as items shipped in a tube to foreign countries:

Rush Processing   

For a $5 charge (selectable at checkout), we will guarantee that your order is shipped the same day on orders under $350. For orders over $350, the rush charge will guarantee shipment by the next business day. To qualify, you must place your order on Monday through Friday by:

  • 11 AM Pacific Time
  • NOON Mountain Time
  • 1 PM Central Time
  • 2 PM Eastern Time

Rush orders placed after the cut-off time above will be shipped the next business day (weekend orders will be shipped Monday).

If for any reason we are not able to ship your order the same business day (on days the US Postal Service operates) as specified above, the rush charge will be promptly refunded. This guarantee applies to all in-stock items.

Shipping Notification

When we ship your order, we will send you a shipping notification email. Please make sure your spam filter is set to accept emails from rodandstaffbooks.com.
