Holiday Shipping Update

We will be able to process and ship physical orders through Friday, December 19; fulfillment will pause from December 20–January 5. The candle and Winter issue pre-orders will begin shipping the week of December 8.

Please note that we cannot guarantee delivery by December 25. For the best chance of arrival by December 25 using standard shipping, we encourage you to place your order by December 15. For expedited shipping, please place orders by December 18.

Gift subscriptions can be purchased at any time; we will send you a card you can fill out and send to your recipient. All subscription orders will begin with our Spring 2026 issue.

We offer free shipping on domestic subscriptions. A flat-rate $20 shipping charge will be added for international subscriptions. 

For back issue and merchandise orders, carrier-calculated rates via USPS are available at checkout. 

We are a little magazine with a little operation. All orders of back issues, gifts, and merchandise will be processed and shipped within three to five business days. 

Individual issues within subscription orders are mailed four times per year for the duration of the selected subscription term (one, two, or three years). Subscription mailings are managed by our publisher, Johns Hopkins University Press. We cannot guarantee a delivery window on the issues contained within your subscription. International subscriptions may experience longer transit times. 

However, if you do not receive your copy for a given issue within forty-five days of publication (Fall: September 1, Winter: December 1, Spring: March 1, Summer: June 1), please write to us at help@yalereviewstore.org, and we will send you a gratis replacement copy.
