Shipping Valentine’s 2017

Welcome to Valentine’s Day Shipping 2017

As of Feb. 10, we can only produce ebooks for Valentine’s Day delivery. Ebooks can be delivered within hours up through Feb. 14. You can view all 37 of them by clicking here: eBooks

(Updated As of today, Feb. 9 at 12:01 pm EST), we unfortunately will not be able to take any more orders for printed books that are intended for Valentine’s Day delivery. This is specifically because the printing plant where paperback books are made is currently experiencing a winter storm with 8 to 12 inches of snow and temperatures below 24 degrees. The staff that could get in is making books that have already been ordered and are posting them, but the weather conditions will slow the USPS as well.

Of course, if you do not need the book by Tuesday, February 14 – Valentine’s Day, please order anytime. We are year-round, and these books are great for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays and anytime to say, “I Love You.” And keep in mind that you can celebrate Valentine’s through the whole week, not just on the actual day.

Ebooks can be delivered within hours up through Feb. 14. You can view all of them by choosing eBooks from the pull-down Categories Menu.

Our long-standing policy remains in effect: no refunds will be issued due to weather issues. If planes can’t fly and trucks can’t roll, no mail will get delivered.

Weather and disasters are always beyond our power, and we hope all of us have none to be concerned with. However, we cannot be held accountable for delivery problems caused by circumstances beyond our control.

(UPDATE February 8, 2017 at 3:30 pm EST)

Our personalized novels are made one at a time, and Valentine’s is our busiest season.

For paperback book orders placed after 3:30 p.m. EST Feb. 8, you’ll have to use US EXPRESS Shipping for Valentine’s delivery. STANDARD US Priority Shipping is not guaranteed for delivery by Feb. 14.

Hardback book orders placed after 3:30 p.m. EST Feb. 8, are not likely to arrive by Valentine’s Day even if you use US EXPRESS Shipping.

Of course, if you do not need the book by Tuesday, February 14 – Valentine’s Day, please order anytime.

If you are looking for guaranteed delivery dates, you will have to choose the EXPRESS (USPS Express Mail) shipping method. STANDARD shipping (USPS Priority Mail) is not and has never been guaranteed for delivery.

But please keep in mind that even with EXPRESS shipping, each book has to be handmade first, which means you cannot order today and expect shipment nor delivery tomorrow.

(UPDATE February 5, 2017 at 5:30 pm EST)

At this time you should get your orders in for printed books (USA and Canada) as soon as you can. Orders going overseas will still be taken, but we cannot say we think they will be delivered by Valentine’s Day – a chance. Overseas customers should start thinking about ebooks, because they are delivered within hours.

(UPDATE February 3, 2017 at 11:30 am EST)

We are getting a lot of phone calls from people about whether they can get books by Valentine’s Day, which is Tuesday, Feb. 14.

The quick answer is  YES, but here is more explanation. Get your order in as soon as you can, and definitely by Sunday, Feb. 5, if you can. We will be uploading book orders over the weekend, and those orders will go to the printers on Monday. Those orders should have no problem getting to customers by using STANDARD USPS shipping ($8.50) and should arrive by the following Tuesday (February 14 – Valentine’s Day) in the USA. Our standing policy about using STANDARD USPS shipping carries no “guaranteed” delivery. Only using EXPRESS  Shipping ($32.50) carries a guarantee.

You will see more information in earlier posts that holds true.

Also keep in mind that ebooks are delivered within 24 hours to your email address.
