The Genesis of a Book at Gregath Company, Inc.

Back to Introduction Back to Pre-Press Back to Production (Printing) (Digital) (Binding) Shipping

Shipping:

The author/submitter will be responsible for the cost of shipping (via shipping deposit and final balance) from the bindery.  The publisher will contact the author as the books are shipped, giving the number of boxes and the approximate delivery date.  All of our binderies generally utilize United Parcel Service as their primary shipping service.  Alternate carriers may be arranged upon request.

UPS rates for commercial and residential delivery are usually different.  If an author would normally have their books shipped to a residential address, a money saving tip would be to have them sent to a commercial address, if possible. 

If the author/customer has commissioned less than 100 hardbound books, they are also responsible for the shipping to the bindery from the printer.

Local pick up may be arranged free of charge for those books that are bound in-house.  Limited FREE local delivery may be available.  Books bound at remote binderies may still be picked up at our offices, but shipping charges still apply. None of the binders we utilize  allow personal pick up at their facilities.

For offline electronic publishing, the author is responsible for the delivery of any electronic media to them. Local pick up can be arranged or limited FREE local delivery may be available.
