Check which shipping method in the Return Shipping Box. Our preferred and default method of shipping is fully insured FedEx. The first book is $25 and each additional book is $3 (for each tiered shipment). You can notate UPS (which is only insured to $100 for the entire shipment). UPS is $14 for the first book and $2 for each additional book. Add the Shipping Fees together and enter beside Shipping (line S)
