TWO-DAY (SECOND DAY) SHIPPING

If you select Two-Day Shipping for an order you place with The Bible Source, you will not necessarily receive your order in two days. We will estimate shipping and delivery dates for your order taking both shipping time and item availability into consideration.

There is no weekend pickup or delivery for Two-Day Shipping. If you order an item with Two-Day Shipping the item will usually ship within 24 hours and arrive two days from then.

In such a case, the order would be delivered on Wednesday.
