Free Shipping for Self-Publishing Authors With Outskirts Press
Starting Labor Day Weekend and continuing throughout September, free shipping for Outskirts Press authors when they order books for delivery within the continental United States.
Just order 50 or more books through your author’s center between September 4 - September 30, and Outskirts Press will pay for the domestic UPS ground shipping. Orders must be single-format and the 50 or more books must be placed all at once in a single order. Yes, you can place multiple orders for multiple formats, and if each order exceeds 50, the domestic UPS ground shipping will be free. This offer does not apply for 2nd day air or next day shipping options. Nor does it apply for international shipping orders.
The more you order, the more you save on shipping. During these tumulus times, we can all use some savings. September is the best time to order copies of your book for the holidays to avoid the Christmas rush!
Outskirts Press published authors who sign-in to their author’s center and order 50 or more copies of a single-format will notice that the UPS Ground shipping option for domestic orders is completely free. No promotion code necessary and just a little thank you from all of us at Outskirts Press. Enjoy.
As a special bonus for our published Blog readers, the promotion has been already activated in your Author’s Center, so you can enjoy this free shipping promotion right away.

Therefore, we are extending the promotion 2 additional days in case any of our authors were inconvenienced by this occurrence by one of the largest credit card transaction companies.
Extended through July 7th!
