The Lone Star Economy rate travels to Hawaii and Alaska "space-available" — it can be queued for some time before any room is available on the flights from the mainland and can take as long as 4 weeks for delivery. We recommend you consider USPS Priority or UPS 2nd Day Air for your orders if faster shipping would better suit your needs.

| Air Mail | 10 - 40 business days | No | varies by weight/volume of order |

| UPS Worldwide Expedited | 2 - 4 business days | Yes | varies by weight/volume of order |
Orders placed before 11am ship no later than one business day after being placed. Orders placed with express-level shipping options placed before 2pm Central ship the same day. We may require proof of identity if you ask to have your order mailed directly to a third party.
Customs fees and duties
Fees and duties levied against incoming parcels vary from country to country. The shipper has no control over the policies of your country. We must label each parcel regarding content and value. However, if you have special instructions that you think will reduce the charges levied by your government, tell us in the order comments box. For example, we can label your comics as books, magazines, periodicals or printed matter if one of these labels is more likely to reduce the fee you must pay your government. We cannot misrepresent the value of the parcel or mark the package as a gift.
Subscription Service
We offer weekly, twice monthly, and monthly shipments. Shipping costs are paid in advance and then deducted from your account each time we send you a shipment. We ship no later than Thursday each week.

We charge exact shipping for items mailed beyond our borders. When you place your order, we charge an estimated $25 per shipment; when the order is ready to ship, we will either credit you back the balance or charge your credit card for the difference, as appropriate.
Because customs officials lack the time and resources to impose customs fees of every incoming parcel, they often ignore what they view as low value parcels shipped by the postal system, and instead focus first on expedited parcels (via UPS, etc.), on the assumption that a parcel shipped at greater cost has a greater value and will thus yield a higher customs fee.
