Shipping & Preorder policy
Last updated: September 24, 2026
This policy explains preorder timing, shipping, delivery, and large-order handling for physical copies of Trillions on the Table purchased through this store.
1. Preorder status
Paperback and hardcover editions of Trillions on the Table may be sold before the publication and fulfillment date.
If an item is marked as a preorder, it will not ship immediately after purchase.
Expected preorder shipping window:
November 16–30, 2026
The expected shipping window will also be shown on the applicable product page or during checkout before payment.
If we determine that we cannot ship within this window, we will contact affected customers using the email address provided with the order, provide a revised shipping date or updated timing, and explain the option to cancel the unshipped order for a full refund.
2. Payment for preorders
Your payment method is charged in full when you place your preorder. The charge occurs before the book is printed, released, or shipped.
3. Shipping destinations
We currently ship within the United States.
If international shipping is enabled later, available destinations and charges will be shown at checkout. International recipients may be responsible for customs duties, taxes, brokerage charges, or other import fees.
4. Shipping rates
Available shipping methods and charges are shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
Any free-shipping threshold, promotional shipping offer, or expedited option will be displayed at checkout if available for your order.
5. Transit times
Transit estimates begin after your order has been fulfilled and handed to the carrier. They do not begin on the date you place a preorder.
Typical carrier transit estimates, when offered, may include:
- Standard shipping: approximately 3–7 business days within the contiguous United States after shipment.
- Expedited shipping: approximately 1–3 business days within the contiguous United States after shipment.
These are carrier estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates. Once we timely tender the order to the carrier, carrier transit times are outside our control. Alaska, Hawaii, remote addresses, weather events, peak seasons, and carrier disruptions may result in longer delivery times, subject to any rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Once tracking is available, the carrier's tracking information is the best source for the current delivery estimate.
6. Address accuracy
Please review your shipping address carefully before placing your order.
If you notice an error before fulfillment begins, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to update the address if the order has not yet entered fulfillment.
We are not responsible for delays, losses, or additional shipping costs caused by an incorrect or incomplete address supplied by the customer, although we will try to help resolve carrier issues when reasonably possible.
7. Lost, damaged, or incorrect shipments
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please follow the process in our Refund & Return Policy.
If tracking shows a package as lost or there is a significant carrier issue, contact us through the Contact page with your order number.
8. Bulk and organizational orders
Orders of 5 or more copies may qualify for bulk pricing or other shipping arrangements.
Large corporate, sponsor, partner, multi-address, or event orders may be handled under a separate written quote or agreement. Any separate written terms accepted for that order will control if they conflict with this policy.
9. Contact
