Estimating Delivery Time

To calculate the number of days it will take to receive your order, consider the number of days it will take us to process and pack your order, plus the number of days it will take the delivery service to handle your order.

Estimated Delivery Time = Order Processing Time + Shipping Time

The availability of each item is clearly labeled throughout the Booksamillion.com site. You'll find that many items are labeled "ships in 2-3 days" which means that your order will be processed and will leave our warehouse on the second or third day. The number of days required for shipping time depends on the shipping method you select.

For example, if you ordered a book that was available to ship within 2-3 business days, and selected Next Day Air shipping, your total delivery time would be between 3-4 business days (2-3 days to gather, plus 1 business day of shipping time).

For UPS and USPS deliveries, Booksamillion.com is only responsible for a package until the carrier confirms that the order has been delivered. If the tracking information we have for you shows that the order has been delivered, but you have not received your package please contact our Customer Support department at 1-800-201-3550. We will be happy to investigate the matter with the shipper, but we cannot credit orders if the tracking number shows the package as being delivered (with or without signature).

You are responsible to pay any import duties and taxes that may be levied once the package reaches the destination country. Booksamillion.com has no control over these charges and cannot predict whether they'll be applied or for how much. Since customs policies vary widely from country to country, you should contact your local customs office for further information.

Please note that international shipping time may vary depending on the destination, specifically the local country's customs policies.

Additionally, the various international shipping options are not available to all countries. For some countries, the only shipping option is Fastest International.

If your Booksamillion.com Address Book contains multiple shipping addresses, please take the following steps before clicking "Submit This Order" to ensure that you see the appropriate shipping options and costs:

  1. Select your desired shipping address from the list.
  2. Click the "Recalculate Order" button near the bottom of the page. This will refresh the page to ensure that you see the shipping options available for the specific address you have selected.
  3. Choose your desired shipping method.

Unfortunately, international shipping may not be available to all countries due to civil unrest, postal service interruptions, and other factors beyond Booksamillion.com's ability to control. If we learn that we will be unable to ship to an international address, we will cancel the order and notify you via email.
