Shipping

For shipments to addresses within the U.S. (scroll down for International shipping) 

Flat-rate shipping: Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price for shirts, caps, unframed prints and posters, bracelets, lapel pins, pendants, and button packs is $5.95.

For hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets, the shipping cost is $8.95. 

Our flat rate shipping means you can add two or more t-shirts, sweatshirts, or caps for no additional shipping charge.

Note that some large or heavy items, including larger framed prints, may have a different shipping charge or a shipping surcharge. When they do, it will be noted on the product page.

 

Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping. 

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

  • When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
  • If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
  • If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

        Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price is still fixed at $5.95. Our flat rate shipping means you can add another t-shirt, cap, or book for no additional shipping charge.

      • $8.95 for hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets.

    We strongly recommend using UPS, especially in November and December.

          Coffee mugs

          I bought this as a Father’s Day gift for my dad. He absolutely loves them! The historical message always lets him begin his day talking with someone at work about historical facts. They are all around great coffee mugs.

          A nice cup of coffee in a patriotic mug. What an awesome start to go off into the world with a spring in your step. Thanks for the positive message.

          Nice Mug, Great Guy

          Wonderful, great quality!

          We received these mugs and were delighted with the quality of the design, the printing, and the mug itself. So rarely does a product live up to its advertising these days, but these mugs are definitely a pleasant exception to that rule. In addition, when I had a question about them I received a very prompt, friendly reply - amazing customer service! Can't wait to purchase more!

          Tastes like Liberty

          This is a great quality mug that provides me with a daily reminder of the chances American colonists took to provide us with the independence they desired for themselves and their progeny. An added benefit is that all beverages consumed from this mug taste like Liberty!

          While one of my mugs arrived broken, it was replaced by a new one in just a few days. The customer service experience was terrific.

          Excellent mugs

          I received my mugs a couple weeks ago and have been using them for coffee, until the other day when I decided to tempt fate and used one for tea. It tasted like liberty. Seriously, these are another quality product I'm happy I bought. History List offers good value for money and great customer service. Thanks!

          Absolutely gorgeous!

          I purchased 4 of these mugs as a gift for someone who “has everything“. They arrived so well packaged, I hated to open the box within the box, but I wanted to see how they looked. They are absolutely gorgeous! They do not look cheap; they are elegant and well made. The white color of the mug is pure white, like porcelain. Some cheaper quality mugs would have a blueish tint, not these, they are pure white. Also, the high quality shows with the printing. The writing on it doesn’t look like it was stamped (sometimes you see a bleeding or smudging of the writing). They are just well made and are beautiful. They are the perfect gift for someone “who has everything”!
