General product questions

  • If you are shipping within the contiguous U.S., shipping is free and through FedEx ground, which delivers in about a week. If you are shipping to Alaska, Hawaii or internationally your shipping will be calculated when you order.

You will find the interactive PDF in your eLibrary. Log in using your bookstore credentials, then go to My Account (upper right corner) and click on My eLibrary. You may download it there.

After downloading, you can open and use “Practical Guidance” with any PDF reader. You can print it, but we recommend using it digitally to take advantage of the interactive assessment features. Unlike our other products, “Practical Guidance” is not available in the Online eBook format because of its interactive features.

You may print up to 20% of our full-length eBooks and nonmember purchases of industry guidance and research reports.

The white papers/reports are technically Online eBooks. Anyone with the bookstore account information can log in and read the white papers and reports online, but you cannot download the white papers/reports or print more than 20% of them. This is to protect the digital rights. NBOA members can log into NBOA.org and download the white papers/reports.

Almost immediately, at least for the online eBook and, where relevant, fillable PDFs. Shortly after placing your order, you will receive a confirmation email detailing how to access these items. If your bundled purchase also includes the printed book, you will receive your copy within approximately one week if within the United States (FedEx ground) or seven to 10 days for international orders.

A charge will appear immediately on your bank statement under the name "Sheridan."

Where required by law, sales tax will be assessed unless buyer provides proof of tax-exempt status.

If your order has been charged tax and you are a tax-exempt organization we will refund the tax portion of your purchase.  To apply for a refund of the tax portion of your order please follow the procedure below. 

1.  Place your order.

2.  Forward a copy of the received invoice along with a copy of your Tax Exempt Certificate to:

          Email: estorecancel.sbi@sheridan.com - Attn: Tax Exempt
          Fax: 734.385.1689 - Attn: Tax Exempt

3.  Once your tax information is received, a refund will be issued for the taxes if the order meets the requirements for tax exemption.

For an adjusted invoice showing no tax amount please login to your account after you have received the refund and download your invoice.

All sales are final. Because NBOA works with a third-party fulfillment company and all books are printed on demand, we are unable to issue refunds.
