It is time to explain Booknotes policy on Christmas orders. We use two main distributors to get our books. Our regular distributor takes about two days for an order to arrive, once placed. However, it sometimes doesn't have all the books we need. For those books, we use a second distributor. It has a slightly different selection, especially with harder to find titles. Usually, books from them arrive within two days, as well, but only if we use our primary warehouse. If we have to use a secondary location, the delivery times can go up to four days. Because of this, we set the last day for regular orders about five days before Christmas. Since Christmas falls on a Monday this year, this means two less days for deliveries. Hence, the December 18 deadline. Orders placed before 11:00 am on Wednesday, December 20, can still be delivered on time from our regular distributor, but only if they are stock. You would have to pay a small shipping and handling fee, though, if we didn't get a minimum order. In fact, we technically could place orders at late as 11:00 am on Thursday, December 21, but we would have to add a large fee to make sure it would be delivered on time. This is why we strongly urge our customers to come in early to place their orders. See you next week with more views of Christmas.
