Shipping

ALL US ORDERS OVER $125 ARE SHIPPED FREE!

Please ensure that when you make your purchase you check carefully to ensure that it is accurate (no mistaken multiple items, correct shipping address and so on) because once made, orders cannot be changed. All sales are final and there are no refunds or returns.

We do not ship your order. Once you have placed your order with us via our website, we send it to Lulu, who does print-on-demand. At this point you will get an invoice from us.

Usually, Lulu prints and ships within a few days—however, it can take them up to 3 weeks (though we have never known it to take them that long!) Only once they ship will you receive your tracking number—so this won’t happen when you place your order with us.

Although this is a fairly cumbersome process, it means that our customers outside the USA no longer have massive shipping costs (and the quality of Lulu’s printing is better than that of the local printers we used to use). Please put your order in your shopping cart so you can see how much shipping you will pay—you’ll see that it is a lot less than before we switched to Lulu. This is because they print in many countries so your international shipping costs might be calculated at a domestic rate—in the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and India for instance. Rates in other countries are also cheaper now.

We are very sorry but we cannot sell any of our materials as pdfs–there is a thriving blackmarket in Christopherus materials and pdfs only make this easier. Our very small family-run business cannot cope with what is, in effect, stealing from us. It is painful for us when people write and promise not to pass on their pdfs–please do not put us in the awkward position of having to say ‘we don’t know you’….We are very sorry about all of this and ask our friends and supporters to please understand.

Sometimes people ask us to write ‘gift’ on their invoice so they can avoid Customs. While we are certainly sympathetic to this request, we of course cannot do this as such an action is illegal and it is we that would be responsible.
