FAQ
 
Can I have my address changed?
Unfortunately, once order is placed, we are only able to change it at the exact time the order is being shipped. We've placed a formal request with our website host to request this feature, but it isn’t available at this time.  The USPS does offer a Mail Intercept service that allows you to change the address as along as the package is not out for delivery.  Find out more about it here:   https://www.usps.com/manage/package-intercept.htm Additionally, you may opt to allow your mail forwarding request to handle the shipment.  The last resort is to ask us to cancel the order and to re-submit it to ensure the correct address is attached.

All orders are processed within 3 business days.  If more time is needed due to specific details that require switching suppliers, International shipping charges. non book items like soap or deodorant, autographed copies, you will be notified by email.
