  • How long does production of books take?
    The time taken for production of print books depends on the quantity of books required and the production options. For less than 20 copies of a soft cover book (perfect or saddle-stitch binding), the production time required is 3-5 business days. Bulk orders could take over two weeks. Business days do not include Saturdays, Sundays and other Holidays. Once the book or books are produced, shipping time must be taken into consideration separately. Shipping time depends on the location and postal service/courier employed. Shipping delays are sometimes inevitable and beyond our control. So, if you are on a deadline, please order the copies early to avoid last-minute issues.

  • What does it mean when a package is held by customs?
    This means that customs people have put it on hold. Most probably, they will contact you to pay import duties on your book (s), depending on the number of books you are importing and what is the value of the package. It sounds scary but all packages get "held by import customs". It just means it was scanned out of the delivery company's possession for processing with customs. It will change status once it's back in the couriers possession. It does not mean they have seized it for any reason. Some countries like India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia are very strict with international orders which may be subject to customs fees and import duties based on the country where the order was shipped from. Moussa Issa Bookstore is not responsible for customs fees, and charges are not incorporated into the total cost of your order. Please contact your customs office for further information. ​ The customer is responsible for any additional duties, administration and customs fees that might be charged as required by local regulation.
  • Can I track my Order?
    Tracking information for all orders, regardless of shipping method, is available and will be emailed once your order ships.
