Thank you for visiting and shopping at Outside of a Dog Books & Games. The following are the terms and conditions that constitute our Shipping Policy.
Domestic Shipping Policy
Shipment processing time
All orders are processed within 2-3 business days, and most often the following business day. Orders are not shipped or delivered on weekends or holidays.
If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days. Please allow additional days in transit for delivery. If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, we will contact you via email or telephone.
Shipping rates & delivery estimates
Shipping charges for your order will be calculated and displayed at checkout. You will be able to choose from multiple shipping options to find one that best fits your needs and price point.
Because books and games are often heavy or large, shipping rates may vary substantially with what you order. We will use the smallest packaging available to help keep shipping costs down.
Books will generally ship from our partners IndieLite, while games and gifts will ship from Outside of a Dog directly. This may result in different shipping charges depending on where you live, and means that you will generally order books and games/gifts separately.
The following are examples of shipping for a board game shipped to Baltimore; these are examples only, and rates may vary widely depending on size and weight of game or gift and destination.
| Shipment method | Estimated delivery time after order processing | Shipment cost |
| USPS Priority Mail | 1-3 business days | $10.45 |
| USPS Parcel Select Ground | 2-8 business days | $10.60 |
| USPS Priority Mail Express | 1-2 business days | $41.35 |
Delivery delays can occasionally occur.
