Standard Shipping and Handling

We like happy customers—that’s why we package your orders carefully and get them in the mail as soon as we can.

$6.99 Flat Rate Standard Shipping On Any Pre-Paid Order to Continental US Via  USPS Media Mail.

NOTE: Since Covid-19, the USPS takes longer to deliver Media Mail. Now it takes 7-15 days on average. Depending on your location, it may take longer. Very, very occasionally packages do get lost, but rest assured, we will send you a replacement. Sometimes if the package takes weeks, we’ll send a replacement and ask that you mark the second one that arrives as return to sender. Hope you understand that this is beyond our control.

When Will My Order Be Shipped?

  • Most orders are processed and delivered to the Post Office or FedEx within 1 to 2 business days.
  • During the busy season (May to October) there can be delays. This year, due to the current Covid-19 situation, we recommend that you order early as we expect expect higher order volumes and longer shipping times (per the USPS.)
    Priority Mail times should be unaffected, also per the USPS, but it is taking longer, too.
  • If you have a deadline, please give us a call or email and we can tell you when your order will be shipped.
  • Orders may be drop-shipped to you directly from our distributor to improve delivery time and help us to offer lower prices.

Shipping to Overseas Military Addresses

We appreciate our military families who serve overseas and highly recommend that you upgrade to USPS Priority Mail unless you are ordering two months in advance. Once the military postal system takes the package, it is not traceable and must be shipped at the customer’s risk.

US Military Addresses and US Possessions and Territories:

  • Orders shipped to US Military addresses and US Possessions and Territories are not considered international orders if the USPS or US Military delivers your mail.
    These orders do take longer to be delivered.
    We suggest that you add the USPS Priority Mail Upgrade if you need your order quickly.
  • HMH Online Courses (without Printed materials):
    HMH considers these to be international orders.
    We need a US mailing address and a US email address to process these.
  • EBooks (from publishers other than HMH) will sent to the order email address unless you specify otherwise.

US Possessions and Territories:

  • Orders shipped to US Possessions and Territories are not international orders if the USPS or US Military delivers your mail.
    Delivery takes longer.
    We suggest that you ship with the USPS Priority Mail Upgrade if you need your order quickly.
  • HMH Online Courses:
    Please contact us before you order!
     We need additional information because HMH considers these to be international orders.
  • EBooks (from publishers other that HMH) will be emailed to your email address.
