SHIPPING MAP QUICK LINKS
Here is where the "GriotBook" clock starts ticking. Keep in mind, we don't count Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays,and each day's cut-off is 5:00 pm EST for Standard Production and 3pm EST for Rush. Any approvals after these cut-off times will be counted as the following day.
Example: If you OK your proof Monday at 4:45 pm EST, your books will ship the following Monday (7 days), but if you wait 20 minutes longer and don't OK your proof until 5:05 pm EST on Monday, the approval will be counted as Tuesday, so your books won't ship until the following Tuesday (7 days).

It's very important to keep these things in mind. Using the table above and the map, you should be able to calculate exactly what day you'll receive your books. If you're not sure, just call us. We can help. And if you need to expedite either the printing and binding of your book, or use urgent delivery (Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, etc.), call us or email us IMMEDIATELY and request a change. We'll let you know if it can be done. Also, don't forget that Spiral Coil binding and Hard cover (Case Bound books) takes 1 week to produce.
(Please call for international shipments.)
