Where in the world does Lulu ship?

KnowledgeBase > Shopping on Lulu > Shipping FAQ > Where in the world does Lulu ship?

Projects that creators publish through Lulu can be available to buyers almost everywhere with access to the World Wide Web. When ordering, please keep the following in mind.

  • Important: Lulu has to make your book, calendar, artwork, DVD, or CD before we can ship it to you. The number of shipping days listed in our help does not include manufacturing times. We send you an email when an item ships. Downloadable digital media, of course, is available as soon as you publish it.
  • Shipping times are estimates and not guarantees. They may be affected by factors over which Lulu has no control, including incorrect delivery addresses, customs delays and Post Office delivery restrictions. Orders affected by these factors tend to arrive in 5-6 weeks; Lulu will take no action on these orders during that time.
  • CDs, DVDs and Calendars as well as mass-market and comic trim sizes currently are produced only in the United States, so allow 10-20 days for shipping of any order containing one of these products.
  • Local Customs and Immigration agencies determine any duties or taxes that may be levied against packages arriving from outside the destination country. These additional fees are the responsibility of the recipient. Lulu cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred by the purchaser or recipient of orders due to shipment failure or late delivery.
