Web Order FAQs
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! As long as the US Postal Service is sending mail to your country, we can ship internationally. In some cases you can finish checking out but it will only offer the option to get a quote on shipping. We can easily alter or cancel an order, so feel free to complete the order and hear back from us on what shipping costs will be. If you want a quote before placing an order, please include your full address and phone number as well as the items you wish to purchase.
There are a very few countries where our credit card service does not take payments, we are working on a solution.
How do I know that my order has been placed?
You will receive an email when your order has been processed from do-not-reply@indiecommerce.com or info@odysseybks.com, with additional information about shipping or pickup. Please check your spam folder for this email.
When can I expect to receive my order?
If the books that you order are in stock, we will ship them out within 2-3 business days of your order being marked "completed”. If any books on your order are not in stock, we order them from the publisher, which takes 1-2 weeks. You can also check out Bookshop.org, using our affiliate link: Odyssey Books - Bookshop.org
