Holiday Shipping

The Shipping Philosophers Have Spoken

As foretold by the wise ones, we have reached the time of patience throughout the land. 

Delays are many this fastidious and festive season as our holiday orders keep rolling in and as the mighty USPS and UPS and all the delivery services muddle through temperamental weather.

The hard-working workers are working hard, and we’re doing our part by keeping our Holiday Shipping Schedule up-to-date for the most current estimates possible.

*** In short, you can expect our warehouse to take up to 5 business days to process your order ***

Will gift recipients see prices or my billing info?

PACKING SLIPS AND CHARGES  

When you order directly from The Unemployed Philosophers Guild website (PhilosophersGuild.com), the shipment arrives with a packing slip that lists the items in the shipment. However, no prices or billing information appears on packing slips, individual items, or packaging.

Receipts are emailed separately to the sender’s email account at time of checkout.

The Shipping Philosophers are jarringly wise; however, they possess limited power over jam-packed seasonal delivery trucks, Mother Nature, or entropy… and this keeps them humble. We implore your patience and compassion and thank you in advance for your understanding of utilitarianism, the categorical imperative, and thermodynamics.

Help! I am a seeker of wisdom…or just confused and crave audience with the Oracle at UPG.

UPG’s expert Shipping Philosophers are available for discourse and prognostication during philosophical business hours: 
Monday through Friday 9:30AM to 5:00PM-ish  Brooklyn Ivory Tower time 
(except November 24th & 25th, December 24th & 25th, and January 1st ).

Should it transpire there is no solution so – crazy – it – just – might – work… they’ll suggest a UPG Gift Certificate and appropriate revivifying beverage.
