Instructions for requesting Fed Ex delivery on our shopping cart:

If you would like to avoid calling us to obtain the charge for Fed Ex delivery, please do not select “Fed Ex” as the shipping method. Complete the shipping choice by clicking on “U.S. Mail First Class/Priority” for your shipping method, but type in “Deliver by Fed Ex 2 Day” in the box below for comments and instructions. We will use your $5.00 discount to pay for the extra cost for the Fed Ex delivery. (If you are located on the east coast of the U.S., you will come out slightly ahead on the Fed Ex shipping cost. Everyone else will break even.)

 

For those choosing standard delivery (U.S. Mail or UPS) on the shopping cart:

The order that you submit will reflect the price before the $5.00 discount. That is OK. We will give you the discount before submitting the charge to VeriSign/PayPal. We can decrease the amount submitted to VeriSign/PayPal, but we cannot increase the amount.

 

If ordering by fax, please include the following information: credit card number, expiration date, name of the cardholder as it appears on the card, 3-digit security code (4-digit if American Express), billing address, mailing address, phone number, and whether you would like Fed Ex 2 Day delivery. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diner’s Club.

 

At the NBMG booth at MINExpo®, we will also have available a list of stores and visitor centers that will be selling this new book in the Las Vegas area. We will post this list on the Web as well.
