Shipping Details

Bottlecap Press is a micro zine press run out of a studio apartment. Please adjust your timeline expectations accordingly. Our books and chapbooks are handmade with love. We always promise to do our best with our minimal resources, but it's important to understand that printing is the most difficult and time-consuming part of what we do, and that slow speed is part of the nature of small press publishing. Most orders take at least a couple weeks to ship, longer for large orders, and sometimes longer during busy times of the year. We do our best to ship as quickly as possible, but small orders should not be considered late until they are at least six weeks old, and large orders (ten or more copies) should not be considered late until they are at least twelve weeks old.

HOLIDAY UPDATE: We are working hard this December to tighten up the shipping timeline as much as possible. We expect any large order (10 copies or more) that was placed before December 1st to arrive in time for the holidays. Small orders (less than 10 copies) placed before about December 12th should arrive in time for the holidays.

If you've been waiting on an order for longer than these expected timelines, feel free to use our Replace Order Page, and we'll get out a replacement as soon as we can.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to provide tracking numbers on individual copy orders since our chapbooks typically ship as regular mail. All orders of more than one book or chapbook receive a tracking number when the product ships.

Bottlecap Press no longer ships outside the US and Canada due to the cost of international shipping. Digital copies of our books and chapbooks are available worldwide.

Wholesale orders through Faire ship in 1-2 weeks.
