Shipping Policy

Last Updated: 22-Mar 2025

 

Processing Time

Orders placed directly through www.rufuswatsonbooks.com will be processed as quickly as possible. Every effort will be made to ship orders within 24 hours of purchase, excluding weekends and holidays. Orders are shipped using third-party shipping partners, and a tracking number will be provided via email once the item has shipped. All packages are insured at the time of shipment.

 

Domestic Shipping (U.S. Orders)

Standard shipping is available for a flat rate of $5.99 per order. While no guaranteed delivery window is provided for standard shipping, most orders arrive within 5–8 business days.

​

Expedited shipping is available for $9.99 and is expected to arrive within 3 business days of shipment. Expedited delivery timelines begin once the item has shipped, not from the time the order is placed.

 

International Shipping

We offer flat-rate international shipping at $29.99 per order, regardless of destination. Every effort will be made to deliver international orders in a timely manner, but we cannot guarantee shipping speed or customs clearance times.

Customers outside the United States are encouraged to order through authorized third-party vendors to reduce shipping costs and receive improved speed and delivery estimates.

 

Third-Party Orders

If your order was placed through a third-party platform, marketplace, or distributor, that company’s shipping policy will apply. Rufus Watson Books LLC does not control shipping speed, method, or cost for third-party orders and cannot provide tracking updates or confirm insurance coverage. All questions regarding delivery of third-party purchases must be directed to the respective vendor.

 

Holiday Shipping Delays

Please note that during peak holiday seasons (including but not limited to November through early January), processing and delivery times may be delayed due to increased shipping volumes and carrier constraints. Customers are encouraged to place orders early to ensure timely delivery. While we will make every effort to ship promptly, Rufus Watson Books LLC is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather conditions, or customs processing.
