Contact UsWhat is the cost to ship my proof or author copy?
To find the shipping cost for your proof or author copy order, check the total shipping cost on the
last page at checkout before you click Place your order. You don’t need to complete your order
if you’re only looking for an estimate.
Note: Proof and author copy orders don't qualify for free or Prime shipping, you will see the available shipping options based on your destination during checkout.
For instructions on how to enter checkout with a proof or author copy, visit How do I order a proof or author copy?
We’re unable to provide a direct formula for shipping costs as total shipping costs for an order depend on several factors including: how many items are in the order, the shipping speed, the shipping destination, the Amazon site you ordered from, and the weight and size of the items.
