LND1218 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I am not sure if the is correct forum for this... I was getting ready to order Song School Latin from Classical Academic Press. But to get that one book with CD the UPS shipping is $13.95! That's outragous especially since I am one state away. According to UPS, the cost is about 7.00 actual shipping add their handling fee and I understand it's not cheap but one book for $14.00! Can that possibly be right? Should I call them? I will not pay 14.00 for shipping on a $22 book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 There was a second, cheaper option. I chose USPS and not UPS, it was half the cost I believe. Smiles, Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I chose media mail and it was under $5.00. :) The shipping options are a small drop-down box in the middle of the page and easy to overlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LND1218 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I saw media mail. I can't do that because my mail lady won't bring it to my house - she will cram it in my box and ruin it as she has in the past. (No amount of complaints have helped. So it will just turn into a big mess - me making them pay for a replacement.) If it's not in a hard box, she will smoosh it. But I still, I can't help but wonder if that is right.

Julie in PA Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I am sure they will be at CHAPS next week. I will be there working VP booth. I can get it for you and give it to you when I come to Va in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I pre-ordered it and chose media mail. It came quickly and was in a hard box that wouldn't fit in my mailbox so they had to bring it to the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Mine just came last week, it was NOT in a hard box and my mailman, who is usually very good, crammed it in the mailbox. Luckily the mailbox is big and the SSL books are quite flexible so no damage was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malenki Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ours came in a cardboard envelope (so stiff and not really bendable without forcing it), but our mail guy just left it ON TOP of the mailbox in a snow storm. I was watching for it to arrive so raced out and saved it. Could you have it mailed to a friend's house or family's house in town? Or what about your church?
