Notes on Shipping MSA makes every effort to ship materials as soon as possible after the order is received. However, unless you specify otherwise,, your order will be shipped by the least expensive means; this can sometimes mean relatively slow shipment (with "Book Rate" for example, anywhere from one day to four weeks has been experienced). If you wish First Class or UPS shipment, additional funds for postage must be included with your order. UPS Shipments must have a street address not a P.O. Box number. Masonic Service Association uses mailing materials that are adequate to ensure that your order arrives in good condition. If any of our shipments ever arrive in less than good condition, please let us know. Of necessity, prices are subject to change without notice. Shipping costs are escalating, sometimes more than once during the year. MSA has no choice other than to reflect these costs in our invoice to you. Personal checks from outside the United States incur additional processing charges from both the domestic and international banks involved. For order outside the U.S. please remit U.S. funds by either International Money Order or a check issued against a U.S. bank. Because bank charges often exceed the value of the check itself, our policy must be to simple return personal checks to you.

Complete Set of Short Talk Bulletins A complete set of Short Talk Bulletins (1923 thru 2010 can be purchased for US $422.40 (plus shipping and handling). Subscriptions to the Short Talk Bulletin make great gifts; M.S.A. can send a ‗gift card‘ in your name.
