We ship WaveExpress orders using U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail, which normally takes 3 - 5 business days for delivery to the Western U.S. and 4-6 business days to the Midwest and Eastern U.S.

However, once an item enters the mail it is out of our hands, and Priority shipments may take as long as 2 weeks to arrive depending on how the United States Postal Service handles your package.

WaveExpress is also available to our Alaskan customers as an optional delivery upgrade that will allow you to receive your order a bit faster than our free WaveAlaska delivery.

WaveGoodbye is our tongue-in-cheek nickname for Media Mail delivery (what the post office used to call Book Rate).

One of this country's first postmasters was Benjamin Franklin (the rolly-polly, bespectacled gentleman who graces the $100 bill). Ben was also a printer and a bookseller, and he figured it would be a good idea for the postal service to offer special, low rates for mailing books. Over time, the same discount came to apply to sound recordings and later, electronic media of all kinds. More than 200 years laters, Ben's vision lives in the form of Media Mail, the cheapest (and slowest) way to send books.

The down side is that Media Mail from Alaska takes about a month to reach most addresses in the U.S., and can take as long as 6 weeks. For some heavyweight books and sets, Media Mail is the only way to go unless you're independently wealthy. It's also a perfectly good method for shipping individual books when you don't mind waiting 4 - 6 weeks for delivery.

We package WaveGoodbye shipments with the same loving care we give all our orders, and when we drop them off at the post office - you guessed it - we WaveGoodbye.

When you receive your Title Wave Shipment Confirmation email, it will tell you the date that your WaveGoodbye order entered the postal system. Mark your calendar six weeks out-and please-don't email or call us asking where your order is until and unless those six weeks go by without a visit from the modern-day Ben Franklin of the U.S. Postal Service!

If you're an international customer ordering two or more items together for shipment to the same address, we will combine items in a way that results in the lowest shipping price possible. We recommend that you email us with the items you are considering purchasing BEFORE you check out. (Please be sure to include the name of your country). Within 24 hours we will reply with an exact price quote for each shipment method that is available to your country.
