For the last several years, TPC and its subsidiaries have been using PayPal's Secure Ordering Shopping Cart. Whether you want to use your VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express Card, or personal check (requires time for clearing through PayPal), PayPal makes placing your order with TPC easy and secure. Even if you are not a PayPal member, TPC's PayPal "Add to Cart" links provide you with the easiest and most secure method of paying Online -- only PayPal sees your personal and confidential information during the ordering process; TPC simply receives your Shipping Address and Order Selection for shipping. According to PayPal's Seller Protection Guidelines, you must have a "Confirmed Address and Verified Banking" information registered with PayPal before we will process your order. Also, both your Billing Address and your Shipping Address must match, again, before we will process your order. Please do not place an order if you have not yet met these requirements established by PayPal.

If you live or want to order for addresses outside the United States of America we no longer ship outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. We suggest you contact someone living within our shipping area and have them order and then ship your Books and/or Course materials to you. We will still support your purchases and Courses just like everyone else, but the cost of international packaging, plus shipping, insurance, and delivery confirmation is usually more than the international student wants to pay; they can have a relative or friend ship their wants and desires to them for much less than we would be required to charge. We appreciate your understanding that we are trying to save you money AND keep you as a student. ~;-)

We ship solely via Priority USPS -- all charges are based on the guidelines and tables established by the USPS. The 48 contiguous states and D.C. receive their orders within 2-5 business days, while Hawaii and Alaska must wait a few more days for the USPS to reach them. No matter where you live in the US, you can't get much farther away than Florida, our location, and the USPS ships by weight which is a benefit and money saver.

So, rest assured that your order is safe and secure when you click on any of the "Add to Cart" buttons you see with each of TPC's offerings. You can even send TPC special instructions and information in case you want to 'specialize' your order, i.e. signed copies or dedications to that special someone.
