How to Save on Shipping Costs

With our 24 business hour shipping policy and partnership with UPS to guarantee fast, insured shipping, we are committed to helping you get the best service and price for your orders. 

Here's how you can save on shipping this year:

• Plan, so you can get all of your materials in one order; it's less expensive per book
• Write out your order before you call - or send it to us in an email, so you don't forget any important books
• Place a pro-forma order. We'll send you a copy and you can check to make sure you are ordering everything you need and see all the costs ahead of time. Once you have checked it, we can finalize it for you
• Order a few extra now - last minute orders of small quantities are costly, and add to your stress as school is starting
• Leave plenty of time - expedited shipping is expensive 

United States Postal Service flat rate shipping is also available for $5.95 for orders of 1-2 items, however you may lose shipping time and your order is not insured or track-able. *

Canadian organizations can order through your local bookstore; plan ahead - this can take one to three weeks longer to get your materials, but you will save on shipping fees.

Another idea for Canadian customers: Brokerage fees and other charges are applied PER ADDRESS, and adds as much as $38 - $58 per order. Canadian customers may wish to get together with other organizations and place orders at the same time, to be sent to one central address. You'll need to spend some time organizing, but you may save money. 

*Behrman House recommends that all domestic orders be shipped by UPS. UPS orders will be insured by Behrman House is case of loss or damage. Tracking information is available upon request.
