Shipping
For all ground deliveries we ship via US Priority which normally takes 2-3 business days to arrive. If you are shipping to a PO Box, we always ship  US Priority. We can ship UPS, so if you have a physical address for shipment and that is preferable, please give us  instructions in an email at time of order. The rates for photographic prints are different than other items. These rates are listed on the page with the prints. The rates for shipping and handling of all  items are as follows:
