International Shipping

While RightsLink is located within the United States, a publisher’s reprint provider may ship from a location closer to your ship-to address. This may aid in lowering the cost of shipping. Shipping rates, methods, and availability are available during the order process.

Delivery Estimates

Small, standard reprint orders are generally printed within one or two days of order confirmation. The delivery of larger reprint orders and those involving a proof process is dependent on a number of variables including ship-to location, delivery method selection, size of the order, number of pages in the reprint, finishing options, and processing times. Additionally, author preorders are not printed until publication of the content. RightsLink displays processing time estimates during the order. Additionally, shipping vendor websites detail shipping times for the method of shipping selected during the order process.
