Fast Shipping Both Ways

University of Texas at Austin's strategic partnerships with delivery services provide you with reliable and cost effective shipping. We currently only deliver to U.S. addresses, but cannot ship to U.S. territories or APO/FPO/DPO addresses. (Weekend and P.O. Box delivery are only available with Standard shipping, and deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii may take longer than the estimates below.)

Please note: severe weather conditions may cause unexpected shipping delays. University of Texas at Austin is not responsible for these delays and cannot offer any shipping refunds in such cases.

All orders take 1-2 business days to process and ship out. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays observed by the US Post Office and FedEx and UPS, such as New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Orders placed Monday-Friday before 10 a.m. Pacific Time have the current and next business day to process and ship. Orders placed after 10 a.m. Pacific Time will process and ship over the next two business days.
