Please note that while the overwhelming majority of packages shipped via Media Mail arrive within the time specified above, in rare cases shipments can take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and APO/FPO addresses: Media Mail shipments can take 3 to 8 weeks to arrive.
- Orders will be shipped when all available items have been gathered. In-stock items will not be shipped individually. We recommend placing pre-orders separately so that shipping of in-stock items is not delayed. Media Mail covers one shipment only, to one address.
