Shipping Information
What does the FREE SHIPPING offer consist of?
Periodically PaulineStore.com offers FREE SHIPPING on orders shipped via USPS MEDIA MAIL for purchases totaling $45 or more on eligible titles. The Free Shipping offer is announced through our newsletter emails, social media platforms, catalog mailings, special conferences or events.
Bibles, pre-sale titles and books sold in sets (discounted price) are not eligible for FREE SHIPPING. Religious articles are not eligible for FREE SHIPPING since these items do not meet the USPS media mail requirement. Religious article purchases must ship USPS First Class, Priority Mail or UPS.
If you are placing a sizable order with any of these items, place 2 separate orders (1) for the products eligible for media mail-free shipping and (2) non-eligible for free shipping. On the order for products eligible for free shipping, choose the media mail shipping method and click NEXT. The order summary will list the media mail shipping charge at $0.00.
DELIVERY EXPECTATIONS FOR ORDERS PLACED FROM THE US PAULINE WEBSTORE:
Most orders ship Mon-Fri within 24 hours of receipt from our Boston, MA location or, depending on product availability, from one of our Pauline Books & Media Centers in the US. For same day shipment, orders must be submitted no later than 9am EST for USPS morning pickup and 2pm EST for UPS afternoon pickup. During peak seasons there may be a 1-3-day delay. At checkout you will be given the choice of several USPS (United States Postal Service) or UPS (United Parcel Service) shipment options/rates (delivery times differ accordingly).
NOTE RE: USPS delivery delays:
According to the United States Postal Service website, USPS products and packages may require more time to be delivered due to limited transportation availability as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 impacts. Priority Mail Express is the only service that remains unchanged. USPS is not guaranteeing their other services. USPS website: https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Delayed-Mail-and-Packages.
If your order is time sensitive (for an event etc.) you may want to consider having your order shipped via USPS Priority Mail Express or UPS.
If postal theft is common in your area, it may be to your benefit to choose UPS as your shipping method.
NOTE WELL: We regret that we cannot ship replacement orders if the shipping carrier (USPS or UPS) indicates that the shipment has been delivered.
Do you ship on weekends or holidays?
Orders are processed and shipped Monday - Friday. Delivery days are based on the schedule of US Postal Service and UPS.
Will you ship to non-US addresses?
Currently, we only ship to addresses in the United States, U.S. Territories and APO addresses.
