State mail delivery can take 3–5 weeks, so ordering by mail is not recommended. Purchase orders and credit card payments are strongly encouraged.

If this is your only means for payment, fill out the publication sales form and email it to publications@dpi.nc.gov. We will email you an exact quote that includes shipping and tax you may send by mail.

Let us know when you have mailed the order and when you need the items so we can communicate with the mailroom and financial services staff to keep an eye out for your order.

If you need to pick up an order in person, please email or call us first to be certain we have the item in stock and that someone will be available at the time you plan to arrive. 

If ordering over 15 copies of one item, email or call us for a timeline in the event that we have to print your materials before pickup.
