Worldwide Shipping

Hey,

This is something that has been on my mind for a while now. As of this moment, I'm planning on printing with lulu, but I have no idea about their shipping practices or charges. I mean, if I want a few copies for here in australia, do I pay extra? Would they even have that as an option (it's been my experience that a huge number of online stores only ship within america, with no option for other countries)?

One thing that I'm mainly thinking about right now is if I want to send people free copies. Do I have to order them from lulu, wait till they arrive here, then send them off individually back to the US? Or can I order each copy individually with a different mailing address?

If anyone has any experience with this I'd appreciate it the advice.

Thanks,
-Ben

Hey Ben,

Well I know they ship to the UK because a guy I spoke with ordered my game and he got it delivered there. So I see no reason for them not to ship to you. However, I don't know what the cost would be to ship to you. I would shoot them an email or post in their forum to be sure. They have a pretty good response time.

As to shipping direct from them, if you make each order individually on small runs you can ship them where ever you want. When I ordered my copies for GenCon I shipped most to my work but had my proofs all sent to my house. So I think it won't be a problem.
