In most cases it is impractical to hold orders so they may ship with other orders even if they are placed at the same time.

Yes. For drop ship addresses in the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico, the appropriate shipping rate will apply. No invoice or receipts showing what the photographer paid for the album are ever included with Zookbinders orders.
 
Please note that we no longer require that drop shipments be signed for by the addressee. 

You will be notified by email upon shipment of all your orders. Included in your notification will be the FedEx tracking number for up-to-the-minute tracking once the package is picked up from our location (which may be an hour or two after you receive the tracking information).

Not generally. Shipments going to your business whether that address is an actual business location or a residence will ship with no signature required. If the FedEx driver cannot deliver a package to someone at the address and he/she determines it is not safe or practical to leave a package unattended, he/she may leave a door tag for the recipient letting them know the delivery will be attempted again, or that the recipient may contact FedEx and arrange to pick up the package at a FedEx facility.

Contact our Customer Service department as soon as possible if you or your client does not receive their package or it arrives damaged. For damaged shipments, please keep any packaging and cartons as they may be required for a claim.

FedEx is our exclusive carrier and we cannot use any other carrier or account number.
