It's really hard to know right now. If we do hit our target date of October 15, then it'll be close, but possible. Delivery to the UK is typically 5-7 business days. You also have to be alert, because you'll usually be asked to come to the post office to collect your package and pay the applicable taxes and customs inspection fees.

Since the books are printed in Hong Kong, we sometimes encounter unavoidable shipping delays, so whether you live in the States or overseas, we're prepared to make the adjustments necessary to get the books into our customers hands.

We ask all our customers to report their travel dates, and for new releases we're especially careful to check folks travel dates well in advance of shipment. For pre-orders we give first priority to those traveling soon, and if the situation becomes clearly impossible (like a shipment arriving after vacation begins) we'll contact the folks who are affected, and make alternate delivery arrangements or a full refund if they desire.

We have often re-routed a delivery directly to a Disney resort when conditions require. For now, though, you can safely give your home address, and we'll make necessary changes later, when we know more about when the books will arrive at our warehouse.

I just wanted to say in all the years I've been getting PassPorter books, mine have always been delivered straight to my book with no need to go to the post office to pay any additional charges.

The books have not even reached the warehouse yet. It will be at least another week or two before the books arrive and begin shipping.
