Shipping & Delivery

We know you want to get your beautiful new books as soon as possible, so we ship in-stock orders several times a week. We do our best to make sure orders for books that are in stock go out within 48 hours of being placed. And, of course, as soon as we get new books in, we get them out the door and en route to you as quickly as we can—typically we fill preorders in the order they were received. As mailings go out, we send automatic emails to let you know you have a package on the way. (We don’t specify what book it is in these emails, because some of our most loyal customers who usually have multiple preorders in the queue have told us they enjoy being surprised. But we do update about what’s shipping on our website, in our newsletter, and on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.)

We always recommend ordering directly from us for guaranteed delivery in the event a book sells out before we can supply other retailers with copies. Please note that lettered editions usually take a few extra months to produce, since traycases can only be made once the books come back from the printer.

Everything we at Subterranean do is designed to produce the highest quality works of readable art we can and then get them into the eager hands of our readers as quickly as possible. If you have any problems or questions, please contact us at info@subterraneanpress.com or reach out to us on one of our social media channels. We also enjoy pictures of pets.
