PRINTING & POST
What it costs, when it arrives, and how to send it back.
WHAT A COPY COSTS
The per-copy price falls as the order grows, because the parcel costs about the same either way. These are the prices the checkout charges.
| Order | A copy | Off | You save, a copy |
|---|---|---|---|
| One copy | $19.99 | — | — |
| Two or more | $18.39 | 8% | $1.60 |
| Five or more | $16.39 | 18% | $3.60 |
| Ten or more, for a room or a class | $14.39 | 28% | $5.60 |
Every paperback carries the ebook at no extra charge, in EPUB, sent to the address on the order.
POSTAGE AND HOW LONG IT TAKES
You choose a country and the zone follows from it. The windows below cover printing as well as posting, which is why they are longer than a courier’s own estimate and why they are the honest number.
| Zone | First copy | Each after | Arrives in | Free over |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $6.99 | $1.25 | 11–15 days | $75.00 |
| United Kingdom and Ireland | $6.49 | $1.20 | 7–16 days | $85.00 |
| Europe | $8.45 | $1.40 | 9–17 days | $95.00 |
| Australia and New Zealand | $9.79 | $1.60 | 11–18 days | $110.00 |
| Rest of the world | $18.95 | $3.20 | 14–25 days | — |

QUESTIONS
— When will it arrive?
The windows in the table below include manufacturing as well as carriage, because the copy does not exist until the order does. To a United States address, 11 to 15 days by standard post. To the United Kingdom, 7 to 9. Checkout quotes the real services for the country you name, with their own windows.
— Why is a copy cheaper when I order more than one?
Because a parcel costs about the same to pack and post whether it holds one book or ten. The second copy to a United States address adds about a dollar and a quarter of carriage and each one after that about ninety cents, so the price per copy falls with the order rather than the discount being invented.
— Do I get the ebook as well?
Yes, with any paperback, at no extra charge. Digital costs nothing to duplicate and no retailer can bundle it with a printed copy, so it is the one thing a direct shop can give away that a retailer structurally cannot.
— Can I return it?
Within 30 days, for any reason or none, and we pay the return postage if the book arrived damaged or is not the book you ordered. Write to orders@hollywoodmetrics.ai with the order reference from your confirmation.
— Is this the same book that is on Amazon?
The same interior, the same cover, the same ISBN on the paperback. It costs less here because no retailer takes a cut, and the ebook comes with it.
— Do you take orders for a class or a team?
The ladder runs to ten or more copies at the lowest price on it, and there is no upper limit in the basket. For anything over about fifty copies, or for an invoice rather than a card, write to orders@hollywoodmetrics.ai.
Anything else: orders@hollywoodmetrics.ai. The privacy notice and terms cover orders as well as the rest of the site.
