If you order online or provide an email address with your order, we will send you tracking information so that you can check your order status. You can also check your orders from the My Account page or by contact Customer Service.

First, you will need to create a profile, which includes a user ID and password. Your ID and password enable you to browse our catalog and shop all the Capstone imprints. Select the titles you wish to purchase and place these in your cart. When you’re ready to purchase, click on My Account and View Shopping Cart. Follow the prompts to review your titles, adjust your list if necessary, and then proceed through the payment and shipping process. After checkout, you will receive a confirmation email which includes purchase order details.

All personal orders must be pre-paid. We accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Institutions may use a Purchase Order and billed later.

Yes, sales tax is added to orders if required by law.

No, unfortunately our system does not allow for that option. Orders sent to separate shipping addresses need to be submitted as separate orders. However, there are Wish List features to help you through this as well as the ability to save separate shopping carts. Create a Wish List for each shipping location and add items to each list. When your Wish Lists are complete, you can open one and convert it to a Shopping Cart to complete the order, then repeat the process with the other Wish List.

No, we will ship all books that we currently have in stock immediately. Any books on backorder ship separately as they become available.

Yes, if a book is available for pre-order, the product will appear on our website with a button indicating “Pre-Order” (instead of “Add to My List”). The item will be added to your list and noted as a pre-ordered item with an estimated publish date. If a product is not yet available for pre-order, then it has not yet been made available on our website and you can contact Customer Service to learn more.

If you are ordering outside of the United States, please contact our international sales team to work with your local distributor.

No, unfortunately you can only use one promotion code at a time on our website. If you believe your order qualifies for multiple promotions, please reach out to our Customer Service team for help.

If you place an order for multiple books and one of them is on backorder, Capstone will ship the available items and charge your credit card for only those items. When the remaining backordered books are available, we will ship them and charge the remaining amount owed to your credit card at that time.

Our shipping costs vary depending on your order total and location. Visit our Shipping Policy page for more information.
