Shipping & Delivery

Shipping Charges

ASM International is proud to recognize UPS as our official courier. All items are shipped out using UPS Ground Service for domestic service and UPS International for all other shipments this allows us to provide our members and customers with the most economical, reliable and trackable shipping available on the market.

All orders of physical products (Books, DVD sets, etc.) include a handling/processing fee and a shipping charge that is calculated based on weight and your geographic location. ASM International does receive a discount from UPS because of the volume of shipping we do this discount is passed along to you directly.

Domestic shipments typically are received within 3-5 business days; international shipments take approximately 2-4 weeks depending on your specific location.

We are able to offer expedited shipping services should the need arise please contact the ASM International Member Service Center at 440.338.5151, ext. 0 or via email at [email protected] for these special services.
