Obtaining the approvals and funding required to print additional copies of products can be a lengthy process. Re-printings of products are therefore not assured and a schedule for replenishment cannot be provided.
The availability of printed materials is limited and obtaining funds for printing additional copies can be a lengthy process. Therefore, limits are established to maintain availability of printed materials for as many members of the public as possible.
You may specify a P.O. Box address for the shipping address. However, we encourage you to specify a street address, since deliveries of large orders to a P.O. Box address may take longer. Additionally, package tracking information is only available if the package is shipped to a street address.
When you order from SAMHSA's Publications Store, standard shipping is provided free of charge to all U.S. states and territories. Please note:
- Standard shipping also covers delivery to rural routes, APO, and FPO addresses.
- Standard delivery does not include delivery on Sunday or holidays.
