iUniverse utilizes Content Distributors Inc.
for printing and distribution fulfillment.
Please note: As a print-on-demand
provider, Content Distributors Inc. prints each order as it is placed.
Softcover books take up to two days
to print and pack before shipping. Dust
jacket hardcover books can take five
days to print and pack before shipping.
All shipping timelines and service levels are based on the date your
books leave the printing warehouse.
You'll receive an e-mail on the day your order is shipped. This e-mail will contain shipping tracking
numbers if you've selected a tracked shipping method.
Your books can be shipped from a variety of printing
warehouses. This variation is based on
your geography and the availability of the products in your order. In most cases, this variation will decrease
shipping times as the orders have less distance to travel to reach you.
What gets the books to me faster?
Expedited Shipping is available for an additional charge. When
selecting the Expedited option, you understand the books will ship after the
designated production time as outlined above. (Examples: Expedited Shipping on
