We cannot guarantee a specific time frame in which your order will be processed, shipped, or delivered. Please keep this in mind when placing an order on our website!

We process web orders Tuesday-Saturday, generally between the hours of 11am and 5pm. If you order a book that is not currently in stock, we will need to order a copy from the publisher or a wholesale warehouse which will increase the turnaround time. If you are ordering a book to be shipped (especially if it is not in stock at the Odyssey), we invite you to order through our bookshop.org affiliate program which will get the book to you quicker than we can. If your order is time-sensitive, we are happy to move it to the front of the order queue!
