Hi Dean,

Our Supersaver flat rate shipping typically uses USPS Media Mail. The USPS site quotes 2-8 business days. For an order that large, I would allow 9 business days on top of that for manufacturing, packaging and drop off. Worst case, you could be looking at 17 business days, or about 3-4 weeks total round trip.

Here you can review information about Media Mail

Flat rate shipping - how slow?

Posted:06 Jan 2010 (21:44 UTC)
This spring, I will be placing an order for over 100 books (school yearbooks) and we are trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. We are considering going with the flat rate shipping to save a few dollars per book, but I'd like to know an approximate shipping time to California. I'm not looking for a firm commitment, just a ballpark - 2 weeks? 3 weeks? 4 weeks? longer?

Also, just to be clear: The flat-rate is to ship the whole order, not per-book?

Thanks,
- Dean
