Bulk Pricing & Shipping Costs

Your per copy cost is the print charge, minus your bulk discount, plus shipping. Here's where each number comes from.

Finding the Print Charge

Start adding a book and choose your trim size, paper, and color. The print charge appears as soon as those are selected. You don't have to upload files or finish the book to see it, so you can use the form as a calculator.

Bulk Discount Tiers

Discounts are based on how many copies of a single title you order, not on your order total. Longer runs of one book are more efficient to print, which is where the saving comes from.

• 50 to 99 copies: 5%
• 100 to 199 copies: 7%
• 200 to 299 copies: 10%
• 300 to 499 copies: 12%
• 500 or more copies: 15%

15% is the largest discount, and it applies to any quantity from 500 up. Discounts apply to books, not to printed add-ons like bookmarks, which have their own quantity pricing.

Because the tier is per title, ordering two books together costs the same as ordering them separately. There's no reason to hold one back waiting on the other.

Shipping

Shipping depends on weight and how many boxes your order fills, which depends on your trim size and spine thickness. That's why there's no flat rate to quote up front.

At checkout, the order works out how many boxes it needs and offers shipping speeds priced from that.

You'll see four speeds at checkout: Economy, Standard, Express, and International for Canada.
