Rush Orders
If you wish to place a rush order, you can indicate overnight or two-day delivery for your order on the "Review Order" page. The standard shipping and handling charges do not apply to expedited orders. You will be billed the actual shipping charge plus a 3.5% handling fee for priority shipping. Nothing is shipped out of Saint Mary's Press on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. If you need to place a rush order, we strongly recommend that you call 800-533-8095 and talk with a customer care associate.
International Orders
Check out our international distributors. Buying SMP products through a distributor in your country could save considerably on shipping and handling costs and delivery time. International orders placed directly with Saint Mary's Press must be prepaid, either by Visa or MasterCard, or by a bank-issued cashier’s check. Payment should be made in U.S. dollars.
Actual shipping costs plus handling will be applied to international orders. Please specify the shipping method you prefer in the "additional comments" box on the Web order form. For smaller orders we typically use United States Postal Service (USPS) or UPS. USPS shipments will be sent insured, and the cost of the insurance will be added to the shipping and handling cost. Larger orders may be shipped by BAX Global. If requested, we will e-mail you the actual shipping and handling cost.
**The customer will be responsible to pay for any additional applicable country taxes and/or duties applied to the shipment.
Please note, we show up as Lasallian Educational and Research Initiatives on card statements.
