SHIPPING POLICY

Many Little Dandelion Press products are printed to order, while we maintain a small inventory of select items for faster fulfillment. The time it takes for your order to ship will depend on whether the items in your order are currently in stock or need to be printed.

Processing & Production Times

Printing & Shipping through LDP

Our books are printed to order and shipped standard to help keep costs low. Media Mail delivery typically takes 2–8 business days after shipping, depending on your location

• Paperback, Hardcover, and Spiral bound books: Please allow approximately 10-14 business days for processing and printing.. Longer during holiday season

If your order contains both in-stock and printed-to-order items, your order may be held until all items are ready to ship together.

Please note that processing and production times are separate from shipping transit times. Business days do not include weekends or federal holidays. Processing times may occasionally be extended during holidays, promotional periods, or periods of unusually high order volume.

Please reach out prior to ordering if you have a specific date you are trying to receive items and we will do our best to work with you. 

Shipping Methods & Delivery Estimates

Orders are shipped via USPS Media Mail by default, providing an economical shipping option for eligible books and educational materials.

• Standard Shipping: USPS Media Mail, estimated 2–10 business days after shipment
• Upgraded Shipping: Additional shipping options may be available at checkout. Delivery estimates vary by carrier and service selected.
• Shipping Locations: We currently ship within the United States only.

Selecting an upgraded shipping method speeds up the shipping portion of your order but does not reduce the production time required for printed-to-order products.

Tracking

When tracking is available, you will receive tracking information by email once your order has shipped. Please allow time for the carrier to scan and update tracking information after the package has been accepted.

Delivery Estimates

Delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed. Once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, delivery times may be affected by carrier delays, weather, holidays, or other circumstances outside the control of Little Dandelion Press.

For printed-to-order items shipped using standard USPS Media Mail, please allow approximately 10–20 business days from the date of your order for production and estimated transit time.

Shipping Addresses

Please carefully review your shipping address before completing your order.

Little Dandelion Press is not responsible for delivery delays, returned packages, or lost shipments resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer. Additional shipping charges may apply if an order must be reshipped due to an incorrect address.
