Can I get a shipping confirmation email and tracking number for my BarristerBooks.com order?

Once your order leaves our warehouse, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email within 1–3 hours. It will include a tracking number and a link so you can monitor your shipment every step of the way.

My tracking number claims that the package was delivered, but I don't have it. What do I do?

If the shipper confirms delivery but you can't locate your package, contact the shipper directly for details. Packages delivered to apartment complexes are often left with a neighbor, building manager or mailroom. If your tracking info shows a signature, the name listed can help you identify who accepted the delivery on your behalf.If you're still unable to locate your package after following these steps, please reach out to us at custserv@BarristerBooks.com.

My tracking number doesn't seem to be working. What's wrong?

If your tracking number isn't working, here are a few things to check. It may simply not be active yet — we process orders quickly, and it can take a few hours for tracking information to appear in the shipper's system. Also, make sure you're entering your tracking number on the correct shipper's website (e.g., a FedEx tracking number won't work on the USPS site). If your tracking number still isn't working after a few hours, please contact us at custserv@barristerbooks.com.

Can I select USPS Media Mail for orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands?

We do not suggest USPS Media Mail shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands as it may take an extra 4 - 8 weeks for delivery.

What do I need to do to get free shipping?

We offer a free shipping option on all orders over $75! Free shipping is sent via USPS Media mail. Free shipping is available only within the continental United States.

When will my BarristerBooks.com order ship?

Orders placed before 3:30 p.m. CST on a business day are typically shipped the same day. Orders placed after 3:30 p.m. CST are generally shipped the next business day. Business days exclude weekends and holidays. Most items ship within one business day. However, if a product page indicates a longer processing time — such as "ships within 1–2 business days" — please allow the full stated timeframe. For example, a 2nd Business Day Air order placed at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday for an item marked "ships within 1–2 business days" may not ship until Thursday.

Does BarristerBooks.com require a signature for delivery on shipments?

Signature requirements depend on your order total. Orders under $500 don't require a signature, while orders over $500 may. Delivery drivers also have discretion to withhold delivery if they deem the drop-off location unsafe — in that case, they'll leave a notice with details on the next delivery attempt or pickup options. If you can't be available for the next attempt, simply sign the back of the notice and leave it for the driver.

What are Shipping Surcharges and when do they apply?

Shipping surcharges of $10 apply in two situations and are automatically calculated at checkout: Remote Locations (AK, HI, GU, PR & VI): 2nd Business Day Air shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands include a $10 surcharge. Heavy Items: 2nd Business Day Air shipments containing a single item over 10 lbs. include a $10 surcharge. Eligible items are noted on their respective product pages.
